Ash Dieback Disease in Hoyle Copse
Please take extra care if you decide to enter the Corpse during high winds
Regrettably the majority of ash trees in Hoyle Copse are either dead or dying from Ash Dieback (Chalara.) This leaves the trees very brittle and prone to failure, especially in high winds.
A survey by a professional arboriculturist has taken place and many trees within striking distance of a path have been marked for felling.
Whilst tree-felling is taking place parts of the Copse will be closed to the public. Please adhere to all path closure signs and instructions from the workforce.
Over the past few years, the Hoyle Copse Volunteers have planted over 200 trees in the Corpse. We will continue to do so to help the woodland regenerate following this disastrous disease. The trees that we plant are predominately hazel, hawthorn and oak as recommended by Devon Wildlife Trust plus the Woodland Trust’s recommendation in preparation for climate change of oak (again), field maple and beech.
Following the tree felling, narrow sweeping clearings along the western path will also be created and maintained. These are to form flight paths for birds and bats that feed on the wing and have been specifically requested by Devon Wildlife Trust on several of their visits to the Corpse.
