Thinking about the scolding earlier made me wonder. Mature trees cut down for various woodland restoration reasons: 70. Coppiced stools: 100 Rhododendrons murdered: 500 Trees planted: ~170,000 (80% survival rate). No qualms.

Today I had a brilliant group of volunteers join me at Warleigh Nature Reserve, some returning some new. One was a landowner we planted with last winter, come to return the favour. We coppiced a whole lot of sycamore (way too much of it) in the ancient woodland, making dead hedges to keep deer out.

Two young women getting stuck in with an axe.

A gentleman with a pair of loppers trimming branches off a small felled sycamore tree.

A thinned out woodland with lots of useful wood products cut. More light coming in now, with a very dark woodland in the background for work next year.

Today I dropped eight trees and I didn’t die. Five of them were a coppice. They’ll be back. Three of them were willow that had to go for a new boardwalk BANES wanted through our land. We propagated all the cuttings and used the chunks for leaky dams. They’ll probably regrow. Tricky but good.

Darren Paffey, MP for Southampton Itchen, pictured in front of a body of water with a bridge. Next to him is a quote from Hansard, taken from the Parliament debate on a referendum for public ownership of water: "'I welcome the Prime Minister’s vision for greater public control of essential services but reforming a broken model is not the same as ending it. The public see that, so I ask the Minister: please, let us just crack on with it and get water back into public hands."
