The Ash Conference, held in Autumn 2017 was a huge success, bringing together experts in ash from all over Europe. Attended by delegates from across Cumbria and beyond, the conference shared current thinking on ash dieback, what can be done to mitigate the effects of ash dieback and strategies for the future.
