Let's Control It ?

It could be the next but one thing to be targeted by the control freaks of the conservation industry. Cotton grass has spread so successfully over the drab predictability of the heather beds that someone is sure to say there's too much of it. That's the way the minds of the managers and their apologists work. There will always be too much of this and too little of that. Too much birch and bracken and then surely one day to many deer.
Those of us who want more self determination and less intervention can only wonder at the tenacity of the intervention lobby who will continue to claim that without management there can be nothing.   ("This place is nothing without conservation" - NE officer for Dark Peak)
