All change today, no frost and breezy. This mature birch is one of a number that dominate the south side of the main track leading to Beauchief. Let's hope the mad chainsaw brigade leave them alone!
I was interested to see in the minutes of SWT’s meeting of 10th January a little passage tucked away under “Work programme update”. It reads as follows:
This refers to the slaughter of trees I drew attention to earlier. Well, maybe these new recruits to the RAG are more independent thinkers than was thought. But think a little more. How come the “Reserve Manager” is not aware of this herself? Why does she have to go out specially to look? Does it not mean precisely what I suspected, namely that a group of workers with chainsaws were sent out with vague instructions to "cut some scrub" but decided to look for sheltered spot on a cold day where they could enjoy themselves with power tools?
We come back time and again with SWT to the big question of competence and then the covering up of their failings. I’m sorry, but they are simply not a serious organisation and their new volunteer workers need to realise this as soon as possible.
Scrub clearance – three of the group had attended the recent
workday and questioned whether taking out the bigger trees had been the best thing to do. Action: Annabelle to visit the area where the work was done.
