Whippendell Woods-

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

have to admit i been taking all the hard wood from there.... many people on here have it stacked in there yard or field seasoning for next year... matthews the brick makers have bought 200 ton sweet chestnut to fire their old fashoned kiln with...

the guy who's doing the felling said that job has taken 15 yrs to sort out.. and now they've started there back there on a regular bsais... i was in there on friday picking load beech up and he said they nearly finished but there back there again in september...

 

nick, can you tell me more? whos doing the felling?

I feel your hurt Tony

We are parasites on this earth, can nature not be left to its own devices at least in small pockets like whippendell?

 

never a truer word spoken Tony. Gutted for you and for the wood

[Graham]

Sorry for you Tony and for all ancient woodland. Seems very little is sacred in this world apart from hard cash.

i can totally see where your coming from, you being brought up around it and visiting it so often, but surely this wood was planted for timber, as a crop, like most woodlands, so whats happening is just the way it was intended?
