In the words of the late Jane Goodie... "Trump's a CUNT"

Would they need to disclose their links to GBNews?

Offer a live audiobook version?

Mmm no mention of timber production in this unprofitable marginal agricultural land.. UK and England in particular is a huge importor of wood fibre.

“The extent of broadleaved deciduous woodland in Scotland increased 61% since 2000 and increased 0.5% for coniferous woodland since 2000 (Forest Research).”

Mmm let's think about this.. @woodlandtrust and LINK have a huge PR budget (part of their business plan) and when it suits them the WT sit in the forestry sector... cuckoo, cuckoo. Other land uses dominate by virtue of scale... what do you expect?

To be Devil's Advocate if Craig Bennet was to try and cover the area in intensive forestry (in line with regulations and the UK Forestry Standard what % of the sale area would be covered in intensive conifer plantation?

Will this genetic defence get factored in to sitka and other commercial timber species breeding?

Oops has the @wtscotsocial.bsky.social PR machine overstepped the mark again? Conversations with foresters working for the WT are always more nuanced, yet the PR machine wades in with simple messages to complex problems... And WTF is that harvester doing within the RED ZONE of a powerline?

Given the quality of Wall's last offering there is certainly room to fill his knowledge gaps.

Very Uncle David

It is really an impact over time... Long Established Woodlands of Plantation Origin (know in Scotland as LEPO) feature on the Ancient Woodland Inventory... The plantations (often with maincrop non native species) take on characteristics of older woodland, species turn up and develop networks.
