Clare's IFA Chair is imploring the Government to put a stringent plan in place to secure of recovery of Ash trees into the future. It comes as Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture Senator Pippa Hacket has opened a new scheme to compensate farmers who have replanted plantations impacted by ash dieback. Under the Climate Action Performance Payment, landowners will receive €5,000 per hectare replanted in three installments. Feakle farmer Stephen Walsh fears there will be a major drop in production if the scheme's not managed correctly.

It's feared there will be a tragic accident in Clare unless the local authority develops a plan for roadside trees dying from Ash Dieback. Clare is thought to be one of the county's worst affected by the disease which has already impacted over 16,000 hectares of forestry nationwide. Currently, Clare County Council will offer advice to those who have roadside trees at risk of falling, but the responsibility lies with the landowner to ensure they do not present a danger to the public. Whitegate Fine Gael Councillor Pat Burke says a common sense approach is urgently needed.

This week Tipp FM looked at ash dieback in the country and what we can do to reduce it's impact Did you know… Ash dieback is a serious disease of ash trees caused by the invasive fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus The pathogen originates in Asia and was brought to Europe in the early 90s. Ash dieback was first detected in the Republic of Ireland in October 2012 on plants imported from continental Europe. The disease is now prevalent throughout most of the island of Ireland and is likely to cause the death of the majority of the ash trees over the next two decades.

Joe Molloy was joined by Ger Buckley to discuss the Ash Dieback disease which is rapidly destroying the ash tree across Ireland. Ash Dieback was first identified here in October 2012 and has been wreaking havoc ever since. Ger explored with us the inadequate ways in which the Irish government has responded to the crisis, and how it will impact both the art of hurley-making and the materials used in the creation of hurleys.

Fishing is a very popular pastime. In England alone, the Environment Agency issued more than 900,000 fishing licenses between March 2022 and April 2023. But illegal fishing on rivers and watercourses is on the up, according to the police, who are stepping up patrols with other agencies. Angling clubs pay thousands of pounds every year to stock rivers with fish for members and taking fish without permission is theft. Better training of police in poaching laws has, however, led to a recent spate of convictions and a legal first for volunteer river bailiffs.A new housing development in Essex is welcoming some new arrivals, but they're not excited home-owners. That's because houses on the estate at Manningtree come complete with their own flock of sheep and a full-time shepherdess.We're talking about trees all this week and today it's the threat to our trees from pests, pathogens and disease. Climate change, pollution, land use change and invasive species are all making trees more vulnerable to pests and diseases, like ash dieback. It was first detected in the UK back in 2012, since then it's swept across the country with devastating effect on our third most common broad-leaved tree. According to the Woodland Trust, ash dieback will eventually kill up to 80% of ash trees across the UK. Dead trees are dangerous trees, so local authorities are spending millions of pounds managing trees that are deemed unsafe. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Winners of the BT Young Scientist group project and Teagasc award, Loreto Secondary School Balbriggan students, Abigail and Erica O'Brien Murray and Olivia O'Shea, join us to discuss how we can save the common ash. For more episodes and information from the Environment Edge, visit the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/environmentedge/

In this episode Chris Skinner and Matthew Gudgin take breakfast for the birds on High Ash Farm. They  observe the abundance of bird life during the winter months, particularly due to the lack of foliage on deciduous trees. They also discuss the feeding habits of various bird species, including rooks, jackdaws, nuthatches and a surprise raven. They witness first hand the impact of ash dieback, a fungal disease that affects ash trees, and talk about Chris' experience of carbon offsetting in Notre Dame Wood. Chris is delighted by the presence of the migratory thrush species called redwings who are busy feeding in the fields watched closely by a pair of buzzards. Click here to donate to the podcast.

A Clare forester believes the government must place emphasis on rebuilding farms affected by ash dieback going forward. It comes as a new Department of Agriculture report has called for the disease to be treated as a national emergency and for a taskforce to be established to re-establish plantations.

Simon White, Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owner, hopes the Ash Dieback Review will suggest compensation for those whose income has been impacted by the disease.

The ash tree plays a huge role in Europe's culture and ecology. From Yggdrasill, the giant ash world tree of Norse Mythology to the Guardian trees of Ireland; the ash tree has been a central part of European folklore and mythology. It can be a prolific natural regenerator making it an excellent species for timber and its flexible, white wood is still in high demand today and is used in the manufacture of Morgan cars, Irish hurling sticks and numerous items of furniture and carpentry.However, the European ash tree is now facing the most significant modern threat to its survival. Ash Dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) was common in China and Asia (where native ash species have obtained tolerance over time). In a globalised world, where timber and plant material are constantly being transported; this has sped up the spread of infectious tree diseases and pests. Ash dieback has ripped through Europe and was identified in the UK in 2012. Many UK  ash woodlands have since been decimated by this disease which resulted in some very gloomy headlines:https://news.exeter.gov.uk/diseased-trees-to-come-down-amid-safety-concerns/https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/16/ash-tree-dieback-uk-woodlandsIt is unequivocally a monumental threat to our woodlands and will have major impacts for our ash trees and the species that associate with them.In this podcast, we take a closer look at ash and the effects of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. We discuss the threat without hyperbole of some headlines and look at the ecology of ash and what will happen to our woodlands as we lose large numbers of these trees to disease. We also offer signs of hope, the living ash project from the Future Trees trust is working with nature to speed up the ash trees ability to fight back. While there's no doubt that ash dieback is a major economic and ecological threat and will dramatically change the nature of our woodlands; we try to take the longer view and understand the likelihood of the ash species to become tolerant over time and take a more nuanced look at the ecology. There is no 'good' or 'bad' only change. The more we can understand the science and the effects of tree diseases, the better placed we will be to manage the threats and identify strategies to resist threats or adapt our ecosystems to a rapidly changing future.This podcast was co-hosted by Dr Cecilia Dahlsjo who is studying the effects of ash dieback through her work at Oxford University and Dr. Jo Clark who is the head of research for the Future Trees Trust. They run the Living Ash Project which is leading the way in the UK in developing ash dieback tolerant species to help nature rebound from this new threat.  

Ash trees are in full leaf at the moment which highlights the issue of Ash dieback disease on existing trees right across the country. Paraic Horkan brings us all the detail and answers listeners' gardening queries.

On this week's podcast we discuss the weanling trade, the ash dieback debacle and the new €83m genotyping scheme.

On Wednesday's Morning Focus, Alan was joined by Simon White who is the Chairman of the Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners Ltd along with Councillor Pat Burke who is a farmer with ash plantation. They reacted to the recent decision by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, which has ruled out compensation for farmers affected by ash die back. They discussed the significant financial impact this will have on farmers and expressed their concerns over the amount of trees dying prematurely in Ireland which will have a knock on effect in years to come.

An ad campaign from Swedish oatmilk firm Oatly has prompted more than 100 complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The campaign which is aimed at teenagers encourages them to 'talk to dad' about the reasons why they should stop drinking dairy milk. The ASA says complaints cover a range of issues including concerns about sexism, ageism, causing fear and being offensive to dairy farmers. What really seems to have annoyed the farming community is Oatly’s use of this statistic: ‘The dairy and meat industries emit more Co2 than all the world’s planes, trains, cars, boats etc combined.’ We bring the NFU together with Oatly to discuss the statistics used. A £5m project is underway in the Peak District aiming to increase the number and variety of trees as the area continues to be badly affected by Ash Dieback. The devastating disease can mean the loss of large woodlands, if action isn't taken to plant other species and save some existing Ash trees. And we get another update from our lockdown audio-diary keepers - this time goat farmer Charlie Cole in Country Antrim tells us how his business has been affected.

Today, we hear warnings over proposed rules on transporting animals in England and Wales. Farming unions, hauliers and meat processors are meeting later today to discuss government proposals which they describe as a ’bombshell’ that could disrupt the food supply chain. With many of us having smaller celebrations because of Covid restrictions this year, demand for turkeys has been a bit different than usual. Charlotte Smith visits a family in Essex who've been farming turkeys for generations. It's feared that more than a hundred million ash trees could disappear from the countryside, killed by ash dieback disease. But researchers at the University of Warwick say they've identified chemical compounds in the leaves of ash trees, which can help find trees which are naturally resistant to this fungal infection. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
