OPM 2024
Bookham is classified as being in the Established Area for OPM. As such the Forestry Commission does not offer a free tree spraying service. However if residents want to have their Oak trees sprayed and / or have nests removed in a private capacity the Forestry Commission has an approved list of pest control contractors in the South East who are trained and equipped to carry out OPM control work.
The Forestry Commission would also appreciate if those residents that find OPM caterpillars / nests in their Oak trees report their sightings by 30 August 2024 to their OPM survey.
