Ask different conservationists from different bodies they probably would all want different management to benefit the bats/doormice/butterflies/red squrriels etc. Local wildlife trust don't like trees all there work is clearing scrub from all there reserves which are mostly lowland heath and fens, so constantly cutting back birch heather gorse brambles and willow as all theese sites naturally want to become woodland. I think alot of people have got something slightly irrational against scrub sees a hated vegetation amongst conservationists. Maybe as the word "scrub" doesn't sound very apealing. Should call it baby forest instead?
