Gregory's Server@timsmalley “ the isle of oaks and crows”, this was one description of England that came out from our recent walk around the South Devon coast last weekend. Sometimes ominous, but full of magic. It’s a shame that there are so few forest areas left

@alx yep, the UK has actually been in a state of deforestation for about 20 years and we only have about 13% woodland coverage vs the European average of about 30%. Add in the fact that about half of our ancient woods are currently plantations in desperate need of restoration (a decades-long project to protect the ancient woodland status - you can't just bulldozer it and start again), and we have a problem.
