Misinformatiom

There may still be time to stop SWT from destroying scores of trees but I have to say so many people have simply given up on them because of their addiction to misinformation. Anyone who is uncertain about that should consider their latest statements about cutting trees. I've referred to this before but it needs saying again.

The latest justification for cutting down mature trees is that the trees encourage bracken to grow. This is so extremely wrongheaded that alongside so many other nonsensical statements ("cows eat bracken"! etc.) that we have to take nothing they say on trust. The truth is that trees create shade which inhibits the growth of bracken, the very opposite of what they say. I invite SWT to come with me onto Blacka and I will show them exactly what happens.


For the benefit of readers here is the evidence: Picture one shows land outside the trees, with bracken thriving.



Picture two shows the scene underneath the nearby birch trees where there is grass and almost no bracken.
