It's happening fast around me! Talking to a friend this morning, within a 7 mile radius there are 4 farms sold recently, totalling probably a 1000 acres. That will be planted with trees. One was a terrific upland farm, an island of farming surrounded completely by the Brechfa forestry. Even held ADAS open days , before my time.At least 30% of land being actively managed for nature is the latest 'demand'.
Welsh election 2021: New laws demand to halt Wales' mass extinction
Ahead of the Senedd election on 6 May, environmental charities urge politicians to take action.www.bbc.co.uk
What a crock of s**t...
Nature and wildlife in Wales is undergoing a "mass extinction event", environmental charities have said.
Ahead of next week's election, they have urged politicians to take action, with measures such as new, legally binding targets on biodiversity.
A major study in 2019 suggested one in six species in Wales were at risk of extinction.
Campaigners want the issue to be given the same priority as plans to fight climate change.
They have also called for a national nature service, offering jobs to people on wildlife restoration schemes, and for 30% of land and sea to be actively managed for nature by 2030.

National Nature Service; Beaver Observation, monitoring and survey Dept. Where do I sign?
The more land that goes into this nonsense the less there is to produce food, supply and demand, let them get on.

Always.
Good job Baldrick hasn’t latched on to this yet, or we would be getting the usual smutty innuendo asking about pussies and beavers.

I read somewhere that Powys was the mostly densely wooded county in the UK.
I’d say we weren’t doing too bad a job of nature in Wales now, where most of the more intensively farmed areas are covered in a patchwork of small fields, largely surrounded by hedges and trees.
Certainly around here most of those landscapes also feature small patches of mixed woodland dotted about, joined up by a network of wildlife corridors.
Of course none of that would make such startling headlines.
Actually Surrey is the most wooded area of the UK - there are loads of trees everywhere mostly protected by Tree Preservation Orders with well heeled local residents prepared to fight developers to the death to save the trees. Neath is the most wooded in Wales I believe. Whenever I go to Wales (love the place) I do feel there a lot of scope to plant more trees on areas that are not necessary for the landscape beauty, moors and hills say, nor impinge on the best farmland. Much better climate for trees than droughty Surrey.

The loss of ‘critical mass’ is my biggest concern, how long before there is total integration with the processing industry sending us down the pig/ poultry route due to the smaller processors thinking what’s the point?

That is a very good point actually. Apex predators of land and air are not allowed to be managed. Yet these nutters want to control every aspect of our land management while apex predators ravage ground nesting birds and small mammals already, including stoats and hedgehogs. No wonder that THEY are causing what they perceive to be "mass extinction". Imagine if 'they' had full control.
’They ‘ have control, if you follow our current PM’s latest bed mate.
From wallpaper to badgers, the fragrant Carrie has Johnson by the short and curlies. For now.
how do you know its short and curly
She might not be fragrant either, could just be stinky

Slightly/maybe off topic, but what happened to the old BBC?
When I watched the box, NZ TV was literally just replaying endless BBC stuff and it was great!!
I don't need to go for examples because you'll all know what I mean. Just brilliant media
TV here has changed a lot too, once we got extra channels they filled one of them with crap American sitcoms, but it seems like the Beeb has really lost itself. What happened to it? What did I miss?

There are still some gems like “line of duty” but I must admit apart from that and the 6 nations, I’ll hardly watch it.
In my opinion, it’s become a manifestation of our current, dare I say, metropolitan culture. I’ve relations that live in the affluent leafy Surrey suburbs, the sort of area that has community bunting and everyone votes labour (or the occasional Green vote) despite working in very well paid city positions for dubious corporations. It appears all very “nice” everyone’s “lovely” but you can tell they’ve all got their individual agendas, and woe betide anyone who doesn’t conform to the loveliness.
BBC has gone a bit like that, they’ve removed episodes of fawlty towers from their iPlayer in case the Germans are offended, prime time tv is now cake making, makeup and drag queens. What was the go to industry in NZ to be interviewed on tv during your (brief) lockdown? Priority on BBC was hairdressers, every fecking day, and we’ve had hour long programmes on hot topics like “is coronavirus racist?”, Scotland rugby players castigated for not “taking the knee” prior to a game, I’ll bet the studio bound gobshites making the fuss didn’t take a knee prior to starting their shows.
It’s like it’s now infiltrated by the well tended offspring from those leafy suburbs, private school, on to uni, studied sociology or something equally pointless, year out travelling, perhaps a fortnight volunteering in some shitehole somewhere, and that’s the life experience, that appears to me what their programming and agenda centres around now - celebrating loveliness and being overly “nice” and accommodating, this is served up with a deep undercurrent of passive aggression and ignorance towards anything from out-with the village.
It's already starting to happen in Wales but the problem is it is being lead by the Civil service and a bigger bunch of unemployable over educated gob shites you will never meat. The problem is they don't know anything apart from what they want as a outcome, so they ask single issue groups or universities. They never ask people who know. The other issue is the Civil service thinks being highly educated and being intelligent are the same thing, to the point where I found my self trying to explain why you can't plough across a hill it was literally trying to tell a very highly educated man who runs the whole environment department under Leslie Griffiths how gravity works. This is the level of moron we have running the country in Wales.

Just an AR activist, dressed in a Laura Ashley type frock. The woman is a berluddy menace. But on his past form, Johnson will tire of the hassle, and she'll be gone. What's left behind in the CAWF are the Goldsmith brothers, parachuted into Defra and a scattering of ex Defra ministers. All with a different agenda to that of pastoral livestock farming.
