I hope that comes off. I think manchester would be a much nicer place if it was greener. [emoji1]

Those 200 trees seemed to have been cut too around there former pollard points I wonder if the stumps are not levelled and maybe cleaned up a little bit how many will regenerate.

Think that they're beech, so they may be too far 'lapsed' to come back.

Aye but could be worth leaving to try.

How did nobody notice 200 trees being cut? Looks like dwellings of some sort at the back of the picture?

Go to the landowner, does he stand to profit?

 

Is there any planning applications at present?

I bet the South Wales Argus were glad of the story. This is the full article they wrote about a deer rescue.

 

"SOUTH Wales Fire and Rescue Service were called to the rescue of a deer from the river Wye by Tintern, Monmouthshire, yesterday at around 2.30pm.

 

A South Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: "The deer managed to get out of the river by himself safely."

 

Investigative journalism at its best

The proof for prosecution needs to be a bit more than that, unfortunately.
