Threatened Habitat ?

SRWT are threatening this habitat, the venue at the heart of this morning's festival of spring birdsong. Under the beech trees of Blacka's woodland can be found fascinating fungi in autumn. The blackbird in the middle of the scene is also fond of beech, as are summer visiting warblers. But the demands of conservation dogma and the employment needs of chain-saw-man come first. They claim they will be targeting younger beech and presumably that will include the small beech that light up the woodland in winter. Therefore we may assume that larger mature trees that have entrenched themselves and associated with various wildlife may be spared. But can we rely on them? We've seen what they have done to the mature birch and pine elsewhere in parts they've classified as heathland with no consultation apart with fellow travellers at the Town Hall. All depends on who is monitoring this so-called conservation work. We, of course, are not qualified in their eyes. And we know that there's precious little independent judgement around in the industry.
