What I should really have said is that the majority don’t leave their homes unless it’s a lockdown then they all come out. Most people I have come across are fairly sensible but you do get groups of teenagers which are the most common for leaving a mess or a half hacked tree. I have come across...

As a Land manager I see the unfortunate side of things. Litter mess and hectares of forestry lost due to fires. I know many people do use the forests and do it right. The issue with this as a land manager you do not see this because people have left no trace. As you only ever see the mess that...

Any news on this since most of the south has gone into a temporary lock down?

One of the key things is to have permission. It would be a shame to put all that hard work into it and then the land owner coming and tearing it down. I manage a vast area of forestry and unfortunately not everyone is environmentally minded and make a lot of mess with illegal camps also they can...

It will be nice to look at Hafren as I haven’t had a chance to look at the forest yet. Also looking forward to Cylwedog a lot of my friends have fished it and always enjoy them selves.

I use them professionally and for hobby work. I’ve also used a series of other pruning saws. By choice I wouldn’t use anything else. For carrying in a back pack the big boy is all you need and more.

I am also planning on taking the fly kit. I’m not really a stocked fish fan but I can’t pass a water without fishing it.

Looks very much like a patch I used to roam around in as a child near Basingstoke. Great way to spend the weekend.

I wouldn’t touch the ash saplings. I don’t know how bad chalara is in your area but it will hit you. The ash will thin it’s self out eventually. It doesn’t look like the beech is dominating the woodland either which is a good thing for ground flora. As I’m not sure of what you want from the land...

Is that the upper Taff?

It will take roughly 5 years to remove knot weed by using chemical. Echoing what Wood girl has mentioned. Any fibres of the plant left can regrow into full plants. Save your self a lot of hassle and bring a professional in on a schedule.

They are an endangered species in the Uk. I was just pointing out that the habitat that they choose to live in isn’t always what we expect. Might be worth sharing your findings with your local canal trust and the environment agency.

You’ll be surprised where they do live. In Scotland some live on a football pitch in the middle of a housing estate. I’ve got them on top of the mountains in the Welsh valleys. Even seen them living next to a council tip with a small ditch running by.

And here’s one that been bread at work.

Have a look around the area if the grass has a clean cut at / this sort of angle well more 45 degrees most likely a water vole.

Don’t forget to do soil tests too.

What is already growing there and doing well? That is often the first best step.
