I'm not sure we should be looking at 'replacement'. Do saplings need to be replaced? Hopefully mature trees will be left in situ.

What native tree species might be plated in die back areas? Personally I don't like Sycamore woods that much and wish that woodland owners would work to remove it with gusto! I suppose people will be thinking forward. What trees could be best to replace it in our woodlands if the worst happens to Ash.
