No, we don't want masses of intrusive footpath management that goes as far as using helicopters to drop in scores of flagstones. But it's clear that the Wildlife Trust employees have time on their hands and not much idea what to do with it, witness the unnecessary chain-saw activity and the installation of interpretation boards. So why not use the natural material that's readily available to improve things here?
There is a lot of dry bracken in parts of Blacka.
There is also lots of felled rhododendron that could be utilised. Though I hesitate to suggest anything that brings in more machinery, e.g. shredders. And I guess of the two options anything that involves noisy machines will always be preferred.
