Isnt this just wrong?Re: Isnt this just wrong?That's a result, I presume he'll be prosecuted if he doesn't do it?
Does anyone know what he was planning to do there? I wondered if he wanted to make it into a caravan/traveller site. "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals."

It will be interesting to see how long the replanting order takes to enforce (if ever) Helen xx

We shall see. To be honest, not holding my breath! No reinstatement has begun, and it will take him quite some time. I suspect that he will ignore it as seems to be his way Helen xx

Re: Isnt this just wrong?If there's one sound I absolutely hate its that of a chainsaw because it usually indicates trees being felled.. I know that sometimes its necessary, but it just sends shivers up my spine
This 'man' has caused damage he simple can not put right. He cant just 'replant' an ancient woodland. I hope he's forced to replant some good decent sized native trees though - the council or whoever should absolutely make sure this happens, if for no other reason than to make other idiots think before doing this sort of damage!

Albert Einstein Re: Isnt this just wrong?The trees he felled were pine and actually not that old. Interestingly the ancient woodland status refers to the soil and the years and years of nutrients, micro biology etc that have built up. He has smothered a considerable amount of it in hardcore, which now has to be removed.

Re: Isnt this just wrong?Ahh you learn something new everyday dont you??
well I hope he's being given a deadline to clear up the mess he's made then "Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid"
Albert Einstein Re: Isnt this just wrong?Update. A for sale notice went up yesterday.

Re: Isnt this just wrong?Thanks for the up-date Helen.
Maybe, if funds are there, could be a possibility for one of the wildlife Trusts to take it over. If trees have been felled, could be an opportunity to re-design the land management and attract certain birds. They did this just south of Ashford, managed the land to attract Nightingales, about 50 of them are now visiting there every Spring. Wonderful song. Please keep us posted, so important isn't it.

The land is up for auction in September with a London firm. Richard, because of the amount of hardcore he dumped there when he felled the trees, it's going to be a massive restoration job. I can't see that funds would be available from organisations, and anyway, surely it will legally still be his responsibility to put things right? Helen xx
