Phytophthora lateralis

A fatal fungus-like species that attacks Lawson cypress, Phytophthora lateralis stops trees from transporting vital nutrients.

Support our call to rescue Forgotten Forests

Many ancient woodlands are damaged by timber plantations, but we have a golden opportunity to save them and the wildlife, history and carbon capture that comes with them. Please help us give them a future.
