Re: How Do You Fit In? Green corridors

I envy you your eight trees nightshade and thank goodness people like you are doing their bit to encourage and keep wildlife around your area - not enough it seems! While others seem to be doing the opposite. Where I live is the same. It is so sad to see every bit of green diminishing more and more new housing being tightly packed in. Our old neighbour died two years ago, the first thing the new owners did was cut down two conifers a beautiful large apple tree and a huge forsythia to build an extension. Two doors down cut down a fir tree and a horse chestnut. Last winter we saw none of the green finches siskins or black caps that came other years. It doesn't matter how much wildlife friendly planting I do, I can not replace trees I have no room for, and even if I could they would take tens of years to get to those stages again. It is like banging your head a gainst a brick wall - plenty round here to chose from.

I hope you get your bats .
