Damage to tree stocks has increased gradually over the last 30 years, due mainly to the increasing numbers of pests, the greater resistance of the pests to chemical means of controlling them and also because of the unusually high levels of pollution in the area. It is ironic that at least some of the pollution is because more people are driving into the area to view the trees, and it is the same visitors who are responsible for accidentally transporting some of the pests. The pesticide CH44 has had progressively less impact over the last five years and is expected to be no longer cost effective within two years, whilst CH72 is now useless.
