Oak processionary moth (OPM)

OPM on private land

It is the responsibility of the landowner to look at individual trees and decide on the appropriate management. 

Due to the scale of the problem across the borough, we are unable to visit privately owned areas. 

You can report cases on private land using the Forest Research Tree Alert. Alternatively, you can email opm@forestrycommission.gov.uk or call 0300 067 772.
