Help Protect Our Forest

The Woodlands Township Forestry Division has identified a new tree threat in our area: Laurel Wilt Disease. This deadly infection affects trees in the Laurel family, including Redbay and Cherry Laurels, and can kill infected trees within weeks. It is spread by the invasive Redbay Ambrosia Beetle.

Symptoms of trees infected include: Wilting or browning leaves, branch dieback, sawdust “straws” on the trunk or limbs and dark streaks under the bark.

There is no cure—infected trees must be removed to prevent further spread. The Township will remove infected trees on Township property. Homeowners are urged to monitor trees on their property and contact a certified arborist if infection is suspected. If residents have trees that are infected, trees should be removed.

To report a suspected infected tree on public Township property, please call 281-210-3800 or use the TheWoodlands311 app.
