Early spring on Blacka is a time when we might have believed we were in a place reserved for nature. Logging operations including destruction of mature trees mean those experiences are rarer in recent years. There should be a way of making an easy distinction between a 'nature reserve' as defined by the industry and a place reserved for nature as most of us would understand it.
Now we are about to have the return of serious farming which knocks all ideas of being in a natural place for six. Cows to be on Blacka by the end of April? Sheep to return to their wildflower eating duties after the lambing?
So much for nature. It does not have to be just a dream.
