Actions Indicated

Action

Statutory action on nursery plants for movement. Work in collaboration with relevant organisations on a strategy to prevent spread via nurseries and to protect rare juniper habitats.

General Comments

Significant threat to juniper and need to work with stakeholder and statutory conservation bodies to mitigate risk and protect unaffected areas where possible. Given establishment in some areas of the wider environment, statutory action will be limited to findings on nursery plants for movement.
