Chain Saw Vandalism

Bad news follows bad news.

I can't find any more words for feelings when coming across the latest evidence of SRWTs activities here. The sooner someone finds a way of removing them from Blacka the better. There should be an embargo on their stepping onto the site.


A line of mature and beautiful native trees, a superb component of the landscape, has been put to the chain saw by those who have absolutely no respect for wildlife.


These trees are holly, pine and birch, some 18 inches across. They have a particular resonance in the minds of those who love Blacka. We have watched them through the seasons for many years and welcomed the part they have played in the lives of songbirds and cuckoos and many other forms of wildlife.


These acts of vandalism against wildlife could only have been performed by those for whom wild nature has no part in their lives outside wage earning destruction. Perhaps they spend all their leisure hours playing war games in which wanton violence is the norm.

This feels like the beginning of serious depression.

As one regular walker here said "Time to resign from the human race".
