The publicity unit of the local conservation industry is doing its best but their message is utterly uninspiring. They are doomed to failure. Directing their propaganda for impoverished and exploited unnatural landscapes at the young is all very well. But you can't fool all the people all the time. Spectacular is a word that should be reserved for a landscape that's more than just a bit better than Tesco's car park. No wonder they look bored. Who's persuaded by this?

Just imagine a landscape here that's truly spectacular, that's allowed to determine its own future unmanaged and unsuppressed, with native trees and native predators, wildlife such as lynx and wild boar. All is possible. Just held down by the jobsworth approach of farm subsidy and low expectations. We need to really inspire the young.
