Pile of felled tree trunks, mostly larch, in Grizedale Forest in the Lake District National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cumbria, England

---

The logs pictured are the remains of larch trees felled in the Lake District National Park's Grizedale Forest in the spring of 2020. They were felled because they had ramorum disease, or Phytophthora ramorum. There is no co cure for the disease, and no chemical treatments. To control its spread, foresters usually have to fell the trees as quickly as possible.
