Bad News Ash Disease discovered in East Anglia

[Paul in the woods]

I think the problem with letting nature take its course is that we don't / can't give it enough room. 

 

Take the pond for example, when there wasn't anyone to get in nature's way there would have been ponds filling in along with new ponds being created. When rivers used to be allowed to meander they would often create new lakes but we don't leave rivers to their own devices now. We also extract vast amount so water and drain land so ponds don't get the water they used to.

 

So in may cases there is no option left but to manage what's left. If we could leave nature to it there would be no need to plant trees (and no need to import trees and new tree diseases from abroad).
