There are massive problems with the lack of biodiversity in the uplands of Britain but planting with conifers is hardly going to improve that situation.

 

I would propose to plant the flatter areas with conifer plantation and rewild the slopes. Harvesting costs on slopes are much higher, so it would make sense to utilise that for improving biodiversity. 

 

All other large European countries maintain much, much higher levels of forest cover and it's something we need to work on. At higher altitude, spruce grows well and it's the backbone of the UK timber industry. You have balance biodiversity loss against the environemental impact of imported timber (with associated biosecurity risks) and the economic security that a substantial homegrown national forest would bring.

Matter of fact, You guys with such negativity to the understanding of  the culture that has kept these languages going for generations and will continue to thrive. Wales is a devolved country with its own elected  self ruling  assembly (spending powers) Scotland  has the same and  just under half of its country craves for total self rule (ask your selves why)  Proof in the pudding the old saying goes aye Big J 

 

Patagonian Welsh

Description

Patagonian Welsh is a variety of Welsh language spoken in Y Wladfa, the Welsh settlement in Patagonia, Argentina, specifically in the province of Chubut. The numbers used in Modern Welsh originated in Patagonia in the 1870s, and were subsequently adopted in Wales in the 1940s.
