Ancient woodland to be destroyed to combat larch tree disease...

[craeg]

Sad, a bit but another example of the miss-informed media spouting crap

As is the way with media they have mostly just used the Woodland Trust press release and rewritten it a little so it doesn't look the same as the Guardian etc. The original press release has a particular sensationalist angle for a purpose, they know that is what is likely to get published and if it's published folk are likely to give them donations. Cynical moi?

Its just larch anyway, nice enough but its just a crop. That crop has failed.
Hardly ancient woodland is it.
