    Majority of moorland a plagio climax vegetation that would natural revert to woodland, and fires & sheep is how its maintained as such.... Are natural fires or arson alot worse for nature than the controlled burning & sheep that maintain the enviroment? Isn't it just the same process but all in one go/ larger scale as opposssed to alot of smaller fires management, that are needed to reduce the fuel load of dead flammable material that causes the large fires? With another hot summer likely to be a load of fires like last year

    Hope the employers haven't got unreaslistic expectations for you sounds like they are asking 1 person to cover all the jobs that a dozen used to do historically? That walled garden looks massive ? As for the pear don't take off more than 25% to avoid a load of watershoots, it looks like it was maybe over pruned in the past hence the mass of upright shoots. Best to do neglected trees gradually over several yrs even though some owners will complain you haven't taken enough off etc.....

    Seems that they are spreading exponentially? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/toxic-caterpillar-invasion-spiralling-out-of-control-following-phenomenal-population-explosion-a4053786.html Dunno if they can be stopped but they seem to be losing the "battle" ?

    Was watching grand designs last night about 2 new houses on some street with 10 self builds. Why do nearly all "grand design" houses seem to have such massive sized roofs compared to walls, which seems to create alot of unusable spaces without head room?

    Locals woods had a harvester in over winter, am impressed by the scale size of some of the the ruts that are near waist deep and 10metres long. Now they are basically ponds. Somebody was telling me ruts are actually a bonus as they create a habitat/bare ground which increases spieces diversity. There is an area locally of of sand dune slacks offroaders had being driving over for yrs before it was banned Now they have had conservation volunteers in the same area striping areas of the sand of to recreate "ruts" as offroading has being banned. They also have had diggers in for weeks scraping vegetation from the dunes etc to recreat mobile sand. So basically ruts aren't all bad in some respects......

    In USA they still wear aluminuim hats? https://www.loggingsupply.com/products/aluminum-hard-hat?variant=51575505611 Looks kind of retro but maybe a wide brim offers more protection?

    Any mores info on this? Always thought self seeders grew/rooted better than planted trees? Would it mean self seeders blow over more than plantation trees?
