< Today I heard the best one yet a man is complaining about a woodland
(SSSI)next to a very minor road on the side of a very steep hill. 1 or 2
trees fall every year or so in high winds and heavy rain combinations
(soil not so good or deep). He wants them all felled so that he can
drive safely down the tree lined road once a day with his family.
Rational?>

Even a small tree or branch can dismount a motorcyclist with the
potential for serious injury. So how would this woodland be managed if
draft 8516 were the accepted standard?
