Forgotten?


Last year a sizable area of bracken around Lenny Hill was cleared by a volunteer on behalf of SWT. As bracken clearing of this kind is only effective if done for at least three years in sequence, one wonders why there's been no clearing done here this year. One or two new areas of bracken have been attacked this year but not this one. I remain unconvinced that there is any serious chance of this strategy being successful even when well organised. Experiments have to be done consistently by people who are on the spot regularly. Another argument for the dedicated site worker local people wanted and resolutely opposed by SWT (and the representative of English Nature).
