[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 8217855, member: 51054"] that is why I have such a dislike for the current obsession with tree planting, the most exciting areas are the edges or areas of change, so I am convinces as mentioned above, the "Savanah" landscape is the most productive for wildlife with small irregular copses. But that landscape does not fit in with our "tidy" minds. Just had a coffee, so am going to get off my arse and continue putting up a fence on 250m of hedge bank/ditch I plan to plant up this winter. I know partly the fence is to keep the stock out of the newly cleaned out ditch, and also to continue double fencing the boundary (stop anyone giving anyone else scab etc), but I will pop in some whips on the bank this winter (if they aren't too expensive, not that long ago I was paying 18p each, last winter 75p!). Plan to pop a few Golden Chain cuttings in too, but haven't had too much success with that so far, but they are free so I can live with that! And, if it is allowed to grow up, it makes great wood for the fire too. [/QUOTE]
