A plea from the trees – how you can help…
Here at Langham Brewery we like to do our bit to help nature.
There is plenty of it around us in Lodsworth, particularly the many beautiful and varied woodlands of the Cowdray Estate that are perfect for walks and cycle rides from the brewery. However, did you know that our trees are currently under attack?
You might have heard of Ash Dieback, but as you can read below, this is just one of many threats facing our trees. However, fortunately, it is not all doom and gloom.
Pests and diseases have been stopped in their tracks before, and with a little more understanding, with some small behavioural changes and possibly a little citizen science, we can help our trees fight back.

And here is an extract from the blog:
If you have an interest in conservation, you might also like to participate in a citizen science project which Andy mentioned called Observatree. Observatree is a tree pest and disease resource website, where you can learn how to identify both the pests and evidence of their activity.
It is connected to a second website, Tree Alert, where you can record signs of tree ill-health you observe on walks. Scientists review this information and follow up, if necessary. The idea is simple. The more eyes out spotting threats, the quicker experts can get on top of them. Simple observations like this can really make a big difference. Back in 2012 the Asian Longhorn Beetle was spotted in Kent. A rapid eradication programme fortunately succeeded in removing them from our shores, but we must remain vigilant.
All walkers care deeply about the countryside. Nature connection is one of the main pleasures of walking. So, the next time you go for a walk somewhere new, do give your boots a quick wash first. Simply think of it as paying it forward to nature and following government guidance on biosecurity.
Thank you in advance… from the trees.
