Ecologist warns tree disease is out of control
An ecologist has warned that the spread of a fungal tree disease is out of control on the Isle of Man.
Andree Dubbeldam is a conservation officer with the Manx Wildlife Trust and says there's nothing that can be done in the short-term to stop Ash dieback.
