Thanks for your constructive comment. I agree that non-native conifer forests support less biodiversity compared to native forests. I disagree with your opinion that they decimate habitats. They actually provide habitat to many species.

Having spent the day in forests of the Scottish Borders that provide habitat for Red squirrels, badgers, pine marten, goshawks, cross bills, buzzards, various different fungi and other biodiversity, I would wholeheartedly disagree.

I’ve said on multiple occasions that some of the marketing that Woodland Trust put out portrays forestry terribly. @wtscotsocial.bsky.social - check out this DEFRA report: www.gov.uk/government/s...
