Ash dieback
Staffordshire Wildlife Trust manages woodlands throughout Staffordshire and sadly all contain ash trees which are infected by a fungus called Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, also known as 'Chalara' or Ash Dieback.
Staffordshire Wildlife Trust has completed the purchase of a new nature reserve near Leek - and is now hoping to make the 56 acre site a haven for wildlife.
The county’s largest nature conservation charity is to grow again, with plans to add a well known beauty spot near Leek to its portfolio of nature reserves.
