All I can do is echo what frenchfrie says about Blacka Moor. The best parts are those where there’s been no messing about by the wildlife trust. The trouble is, whatever they call themselves you can’t trust them and they’ve not much care for wildlife. About seven years ago they had a consultation run by an independent group. They did their best to stop local people talking about the things we wanted to. At the end everyone broadly agreed there should be minimal intervention even the trust and their friends. So what did they do? They erected barbed wire, they brought in cattle which trashed the beautiful flowers, they cut down trees and poisoned scores of others. Now they’ve signed an agreement to do more of the same and they claim they’ve consulted on this when they’ve refused to answer questions.
That’s a great film about Greno Woods and the people who did it should carry on campaigning. Just don’t believe the answers you get. As for the stuff about thinning etc. just look at the pictures. They tell a different story.
