Heathland Clearance.
David oakman replied to Log-ologist's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
The suffolk wildlife trust have put sheep on some of there orchid meadows, i just hope they take them off in time. I have a wetland area for snipe and i had 300 common spotted orchids last year this year the farmer forgot about my orchids and when i went to count them there where none, oh dear i think they eat them the same as the deer do.:001_smile:I also am working on an old meadow that used to have rare orchids on it i was thinking of putting a few sheep or goats on it to keep the weeds down. -
Heathland Clearance.
David oakman replied to Log-ologist's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
WE have the same problem here in suffolk the council wants to clear some heathland but the public are in an arms. a few years ago weput a corner of a field to grass i went there this year and it was full of dogrose thorn oak ash field maple, as we all know every growing thing needs some maintenence to keep it in control. -

Most of the houses here are rented and they won't let old folk have woodburners they put them on economy 7 so the houses don't get damp and the people won't get cold and because they are old they get it cheap i think.
