If you were to cut it earlier for a few years, and kill it off, are there others who would immediately step in to utilise the improved grass yield?
That's typically the quandary on the commons here, leading to little being done.
Gorse control is a major issue, and some gov agreements include a payment for commoners to work on the gorse.
Thinking about it, there's one common nearby where the agreement pays them to crush it-bracken- with a cage roller thing. nice quiet job for some of the oldboys.
But I note they don't like to get on it too early in case they deplete the golden egg laying goose.
