Why paddock trees are dying

Isolated trees are in decline and dying in some regions.

Often this is because they are old and reaching the end of their natural life. In other cases, healthy tress are used for firewood and fenceposts.

In many instances, these trees are not being replaced and they are eventually lost, one by one, from the landscape.

In some cases they are dying prematurely: as a result of changes in land use around them such as herbicide spray drift, changes in the water table, soil compaction from stock, increased nutrient levels from fertilisers and insect attack after habitat for natural predators has been removed.
