In this wickedlocal.com article, Josh Fritz from Hartney Greymont, a Davey shares about the importance of beech trees and how beech leaf disease is impacting the Massachusetts area.
Beech leaf disease is out there once again, decimating beech trees in Massachusetts, as it has in the past.
It's a relatively new tree disease, which first appeared in 2012 in Ohio, and has since spread from Virginia to Maine. Apparent when the trees are first leafing out, the Garden Media Group said this week that it's back this season.

"Beech trees provide food for wildlife, so as they disappear, our ecology changes. People are really nervous about it."
