Some of it will be'consumed', but I'm relatively happy with things if the plants survive.Steve Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459545933323958452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-53080868195902262412015-11-28T18:23:48.927+00:002015-11-28T18:23:48.927+00:00Still struggling to understand why these Memorial ...Still struggling to understand why these Memorial Woodlands are needed - or even particularly wanted. Joe Public knows next to nothing about them, the government couldn't give a hoot about creating any 'green' habitat, and only the uneducated think that a newly planted woodland is better than the disappearance of good quality arable land. This stinks. Place it over a dairy farm, THAT would be an improvement.

If only it could be left as it is. It's OK making it available to so many people but with them come the inevitable idiots and vandals.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.com
