| Re: Sound Barrier destruction - Urgent help
It should be noted - Vegitation sound barriers reduce the noise level by approximately 3 db or conversely when removed they expose the quite side of the vegitation to a 30 times increase in noise level
the use of a chainsaw in conservation should be Prohibited.... it is all too easy to start the saw trim what was decided then trim a little more cause its running......
far better use a hand saw for conservation and then the operator is too tired to actually do any damage..... As for felling 10 -20 year old trees in the name of conservation leaving deseased dead branches on older trees hastening their demise ..... the present directives from Europ and whitehall have become bibles for destruction of prefectly health living trees in the name of Bio diversity and conservation - far better let nature take its natural course with minor ammendments for foot paths etc than bring in the JCB's and destroy 'mature' swamp areas which by their very nature absord water and prevent flooding to generate imature wamps whic flood and wash away plants at the first sing of heavy rain.
Bottom line is all Local Councils have a moral duty to protect the environment if not a legal one - not destroy it - the people I met with yesterday while having their hearts in the right place while clearly accepting there was excessive and 'irrational use of the chainsaw' while generating a fencing line..... and have agreed to replace in the gaps all shrubs' trees destroyed.
Are working to a directive which states the ground should be wet enough to insert 'a six inch nail' apart from the Iron pollution of the nail itself........ one wonders what other uses the nail should be put within this countryside guidance manual - perhaps in a privy as a hook for it! suggestions on a post card etc etc  |
