A programme is under way to fell trees with fungal disease ash dieback on council land in Worcester.
An estimated 5,000 ash trees could be lost in Worcester over the next 10 years due to fungal disease ash dieback.
Worcester City Council said work was about to begin to remove affected trees which, as the disease progressed, posed a safety risk due to dead branches.The council said millions of ash trees had already been cut down across the country in response to the issue.but not all will die. The council said felled trees in Worcester would be replaced by other varieties and saplings to promote biodiversity, although it planned to collect seeds from the trees that showed resistance in the hope of new viable ash growth and restoration.
"In order to try and minimise the impact of ash dieback then we will need to remove diseased ash trees, but we are confident that as we continue in our programme of planting new trees, we can ensure that our wooded areas are the best possible habitats for flora and fauna."
