Any Value?

The Scots Pines on Blacka may be loved by those who visit. Their deeply fissured trunks fascinate.



Their surface roots are a challenge on paths but would we really want to be without them? Such designs have an immeasurable beauty.



But by the principles of natural capital whereby everything has to be subject to an economic assessment where do these trees stand?

Do they stand at all if the chain-saw mafia are allowed in?
