AN ALDER ALERT


England and Wales, but in recent years a disease caused by fungus, Phytophthora, has wiped out about 18,000 of the 580,000 in existence. The trees are impor­ tant for wildlife and their roots help stabilise river banks. The spread of such a disease will have a serious effect on river ecology, landscape and bank erosion. A leaflet has been produced about the disease and
