UK's conifer forests under threat from North American spruce bark beetle invasion.
The UK is facing a threat from the eight-toothed spruce bark beetle, a pest native to North America, which can cause significant damage to conifer forests vital for timber industries.
The Forestry Commission warns that stress from a dry spring and last year's heavy rain have made spruce trees particularly vulnerable.
Symptoms of infestation include browning of tree crowns and sawdust-like waste at tree bases.
The Commission urges landowners to report sightings to prevent the beetle's spread.
