They plan to turn the larch hybrid crop area into pasture style again, I would assume they are going in heavy handed as always, but would prefer an ecologically diverse approach by populating the area with Phaeolus, it would rip through that stand in 30 40 years and allow a sucsessional progress through to eventualy being taken over by birch and then oak hawthorn, grazed by the deer naturaly, and then install the wild boar! and eagle owls to snatch piglets!
