There are at least seven young oak trees in this area ideally placed to grow into fine adult trees. Each is approximately 6 feet tall and they are spaced out across the area that some define as once heathland. Will they survive the chain-saw happy sites team of SWT and the meddling plans of their management who like nothing better than to find a reason for changing the vegetation that nature has chosen to put here? Let's hope so, but I'm not crossing my fingers.
A few yards away there are still some birch trees left that have survived the mass poisoning from 5 years ago. Most of the others have fallen or remain as stick skeletons. The survivors have some foliage but have been permanently distorted by the experience.
