Thanks for that and coming full circle to the topic it was once a good place to survive but harder now.
I think that's just pressure of numbers of people.
The re-planting has greatly increased biodiversity, and it gives a kind of refuge that flora and fauna can spread out from to re-colonise where they are not actively killed....weedkillers, etc.,
We no longer live a hunter/gatherer or even neolithic lifestyle....well, not in the main.
