There is a fair area of larch been felled/ mulched because of disease this year, they be planted about 15yrs ago, so not alot of harvest from those acres, wonder if carbon captured will cover fuel used.

so where are all these trees going to come from ? are we going to import more disease like ash die-back and kill the mature native population on a whim of miss information and political grandstanding .

 

[renewablejohn]

But they all forget we will lose 90 million ash trees in the next 5 years due to ash die back.
