The face of the Island’s countryside will change forever due to a tree disease spreading through the plantations.
That's according the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture (DEFA) - which says an outbreak of Phytophtora Ramorum means thousands of larch trees are being killed off.

Minister Phil Gawne says it could be devastating if action isn’t taken:
