This evening I’ve been stapling, cutting and inking trees. I’ve been tweeking my statement a little too.
Can’t see the Trees for the Forest (part 2)
When Britain’s native trees are chopped down they are usually replaced but often it’s with non-native faster growing species. Our trees are beautiful and nature’s pattern is being wiped out and redesigned, often being replaced by faster growing fir trees such as conifers. The closed canopies of these trees block out almost all light from reaching the forest floor leaving little or no ground flora. But these trees haven’t just had a detrimental affect on woodland plants; in turn animal life has also suffered.
