| Re: Birds and Forestry
If it was a Forestry Commision plantation then they will certainly have had a good look at the site. They do go to great lengths to check these things out.
They have if I remember correctly increased the tree cover of Scotland from less than 5% of the land area to over 15%. So they have overall created a large area of forest habitat, #7500 square kilometers.
Also part of the conditions of a felling licence may be a requirement that more trees are planted than felled. |
