This chart should not be relied upon for an indication of species status as variations in recording effort can heavily affect the count of occurrences and occupied 1km squares.

Threatened species recovery actions

Actions from Threatened Species Recovery Actions 2025 Baseline published by Natural England.

Habitat management

At sites where the species occurs, plant oak trees or promote natural regeneration where there has been insufficient recruitment of younger trees.

Scientific research

Research to characterise the ecology of the beetle, in terms of the species, size, condition, situation and management of host trees

Targeted monitoring

At sites where the species occurs document age structure for potential host veteran trees and future veterans, to determine whether there is an adequate rate of replacement. Also assess requirements for management of the veteran tree stock to reduce the risk of wind throw, by undertaking tree surgery to reduce the crown of excessive bough weighting.
