Wildlife experts dispute advice from Net Zero Matrix
Leave ivy growing on trees alone.
That's the advice from the Manx Wildlife Trust, which has hit out at misinformation being spread in the name of conservation.
The trust's Conservation Officer says the idea that ivy kills the trees it grows on is a misconception - in fact, many of these trees are already dying due to the disease Ash Dieback.
Andree Dubbeldam says those cutting ivy off trees to help the environment are actually having the opposite effect:
RPU will be 'out in force' to stop drink and drug drivers
Ramsey Commissioners to spend more than £8k on deckchairs and storage unit
How to spot the signs of domestic and elder abuse this Christmas
Police appeal to parents after party of up to 50 young people 'becomes an issue'
