Concern is growing over the dieback disease which has been killing ash trees right across the country. But it hasn't deterred a community group in Exeter which is trying to improve its natural surroundings by planting new trees.
Ash may be off the menu but there's plenty more to choose from, as Bob Cruwys reports.

Devon Wildlife Trust is planting more than 1000 trees in Exeter to create more green spaces for residents and wildlife.
It's a positive step for the region's trees following recent news that an outbreak of ash dieback disease has been found in Devon.
'The Big Tree Plant' started today with 200 trees being planted by the Sylvania Environment and Community Group, who are working with Devon Wildlife Trust.
