Its true that the sorts of figures bandied about bear almost no relation to
the annual sums professional foresters are familiar with which are tiny by
comparison but then local authority grounds maintenance financing isn't
very like traditional estate accounting, or the economic wizardry of
productive forest accounting.
I have had to write several times to SYorks forest explaining why the sums
quoted for amenity woodland management are so much greater than the sums
anticipated for commercial forestry. (They need something to pass on to the
Grant
people).
It seems that the commercial foresters just aren't familiar with the idea of
having to drive a tractor 20 miles home every night as you can't just leave
it up the wood and expect it to be there the next day.
But I've moaned before about how traditional forestry types are out of touch
with the world we inhabit.....
