@Just Browsing Ok you are concerned about the unfortunate right? Well, a large portion of any population is as well and we have the means to voluntarily organize and fund safety nets for the unfortunate so we don't need the government to point guns and force the issue.
Looking at the stumps that are being left, it appears that they are practicing coppicing, which while the initial felling may look destructive, the remaining stumps will regenerate within a few months. The timber left lying will create habitat for numerous invertebrates. These in turn will provide food for birds and amphibians. The regrowth of the stumps will provide nesting habitat for birds. The surrounding woodland floor will spring into life with various wild plants some of which may have been lying dormant for years. This will in turn attract woodland butterflies.This is due to the woodland canopy being opened up. Please do not think of it as vandalism or destruction. I note that some of the logs behind you Nigel appear to be diseased anyway. So the health and safety concerns are well founded. I hope this gives you some of the answers you are looking for. Sometimes it's difficult to see the wood when all you can see are the trees.
Dont forget the fungi will help break down the logs

Dead wood is an essential habitat, providing food and shelter for countless tiny invertebrates and, in turn, a hunting ground for small mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles. It also provides a safe area for them to hide or hibernate over winter.
Then they could simply have said that to him on the phone - had they done so this video would probably not have been made.
There is a big difference between providing shelter and what has happened here, which is the destruction of perfectly beautiful woodland.

No cus health n safety all the health and safety bullshit rules from my school are now coming to society love my generation.
One of life’s pleasure is to walk through the English countryside on a warm sunny day and be shielded and cooled by a canopy of trees.
This madness is symptomatic and tipical of this sick decadent society, very similar in it's justification to the covid bullshit. In a communist society nobody is responsible (nor belong to tho) for himself but everybody is responsible for the others. This principle of non-accountability of the individual answers to a childish desire typical of this Peter Pan society, following the rejection of traditions/parental authority (that's what drives all modern ideologies, teenager immaturity). And it also follow the communist principle imposed from the top of common property, as because it has to be impose from the top (being against human nature, and being push by selfimportant people with a high opinion of themself and a low opinion of the others) the individual therefore becomes a "thing" too and not a freewill and obey to the same principles of "property" as the goods..
Plus plastic people are deconnected from the reality that nature is our natural environment, not cities, and that we belong to it therefore nobody should be "responsible" for what comes from nature to somebody. That's how dumb modern people have become.
Even on an unpleasant day it’s perfect.
Good point, tell that to satn, he's the twat carrying out iniquity under the cloak of health and safety, just look at the covid bullshit, you can fly to Dubai but you cant go to local pub 'Because of health and safety" . We are not saving the NHS and if we had wanted to have saved the NHS we could have chosen to be more virtuous towards it 20 years ago, just another bullshit story, we are under attack from China because the west never settled its debts and thought it would print money to inflate its way out of the problem thus impoverishing much of the rest of the world via the Petro dollar. I can only guess the government says nothing about it because the chief executives of Rolls Royce and BAE cant weight to flog China more engines, aircraft or weapons of represSION. SION, the rock that blunts the sword .
This is a form of woodland management, by thinning out certain tree you are allowing a other species to develop, this would ultimately lead to a higher biodiversity as well as allowing rare species to thrive.
Correct, but the quarrel with this specific woodland management is that it is apparently for 'health and safety' and some of the trees being sacrificed for this reason are rare species.
Then the Woodland Trust are either lying or stupid, as they never told him that, when they could easily just have done so.
Rare species are rare for a reason; because of the natural ecology of the biome. There's a very delicate balance in these forests, a most natural balance that's been weighed over millions of years. In these rare zones that we humans have rightly agreed to preserve, we should not be playing God.
There have been instances where people have been killed or injured by falling branches . The Woodland Trust has a duty of care to those who walk in its woods and which can mean having to cut down trees to prevent injury or death. A benefit from the removal of part of the tree canopy is that it lets in light which encourages the growth of woodland plants which would otherwise lie dormant.
The Woodland Trust has done a lot of good for this country by saving existing woods, planting new ones and providing the public with areas of countryside in which to walk.
I'm sure they have done a lot of good, but this decision is moronic
Trees don’t need us to thrive. When trees are old they fall down and create space naturally. What we do need is to get rid of the ivy that chokes and strangles trees. We have abused our woodlands for centuries. And it looks like it’s going to continue.
The people responsible for this madness should be named and shamed.

This is absolutely disgraceful and it really saddens me ....this world is not going to last much longer with the way everything is going.
Woodland management is a complex thing, the removal of certain species can create better diversity for a woodland.
@@6treeman agreed, but this doesnt really seem to be about removing specific species that might damage the woodland, they are just cutting down stuff to lessen the risk of it eventually coming down, which is a bit silly if you ask me
@@Sam-hy2rc - the tree's are being Coppiced love, that's a Copse not Woodland.
These trees are being felled as part of a 25 year management plan which involves harvesting timber - a great renewable resource - the use of which reduces the use of fossil fuels. In the long term managed woodland provide great benefits to wildlife. Sometimes you have to cut down some trees to do that.
@@00100000station he's literally just said the reason why they're doing it and they've said its for 'health and safety reasons' nothing to do with helping the planet.
Great place to work. Lovely multi million pound HQ, decent salary, and a job for life. Not sure what's in it for the trees.
It's called "coppicing" it's been carried out in woodland for centuries. I used to live in a small village in East Sussex but moved away about 16 years ago. before I left my local woods were coppiced and to my eye then it looked like total devisation with huge open gaps of sky throughout the wood. I went back to the same wood about a year ago, it was once again thick with trees totally unrecognisable to the perceived "devastation" I once saw.
See someone who now knows the way of the tree cutter. All land management takes time to reveal its aim. Just got to be patient Rome wasn't built in a day. The fact some coppiced woodland for example has been managed like you saw, for generations is why its probably so bio diverse. If you don't periodically cut a coppice habitat you loose that diversity.
It's nothing to do with copicing, its clearing a wide swathe each side of footpaths. Ridiculous.
@@jamespink4202 This practice is known as ride (aka track) clearance. A ride acts as a woodland edge or margin, and woodland margins are one of the most diverse areas of a wood - they have the most variety in terms of different species of flora and fauna, and this only happens when they get enough sunlight. So they benefit from some help to keep them open and diverse. Keeping rides open to the sky is essential for the health and biodiversity of the woodland. Many woodland species can exist only in these marginal zones, and not in the deeper, more thickly wooded areas where less sunlight reaches the forest floor. When too many mature trees crowd the rides with their dense light-blocking canopies, the understorey habitat suffers as a result. So removing trees in these areas can be a very good thing!!
It's not all about protecting walkers and people exploring the woods as Farage erroneously claimed.
I'm sorry but going for a walk in the woods involves walking through trees ???
That s the
MAYBE THEY, THE TREES, HAVE COVID AND WE WILL BE ASKED TO SOCIAL DISTANCE WHICH IS EASY NOW THEY HAVE BEEN SAWN DOWN! ALL TO SAVE POLICE TIME, DON'T THINK! EXCUSE CYNICISM.

@@paladinsmith7050 WELL we should not! What did Benjamin Franklin say about those who give up their freedom for security, anybody?
All this disinformation will inadvertently cause those well intentioned to do more harm than good. The Woodland Trust does not dictate legislation nor regulation. Rather, that is the job of the Forestry Commission.
If anybody believes the Woodland Trust have felled more trees than they have planted, they are simply foolish.
They don't make the rules, but they do need to follow them. If not, they'll incur financial liabilities that will have a negative effect on their output.
Woodland coverage, despite population increase is higher than it ever has been since the Medeval ages. That's because 70% of England's land has long given way to agricultural needs. This is even chronicled by early viking settlers that described the land as one of endless pastures and fields.
You guys clearly mean well but perhaps you're barking up the wrong tree. By cutting their funding you're impeding upon the development of the very countryside you want to see. The Woodland Trust have built and maintained many woodlands throughout the UK.
To those that think they're corrupt, check their readily available Financial Statements. All I'm seeing here is pure conjecture.
Finally, trees provide maximum utility to their local ecosystem when dead. That's because all types of fungi and insects can inhabit and consume the rotting material. It also provides nutrition to the ground level such that the CO² is released into the soil rather than the atmosphere. Ancient woodlands, the most biodiverse ecosystems in the UK require sunlight to reach past the canopy on to the ground level, promoting the undergrowth that contributes to its diversity.
The woodland will be fine and you might see bluebells even pop up where felling has occurred.
These are all facts that are readily accessibles. I'm seeing a lot of unsubstantiated assertions here and they're potentially harming the future of the UK landscape through defunding the Woodland Trust.
Please share this to mitigate the damage caused by Farrage's misinformation.

@@00100000stationExactly! It's nothing but forest restoration. Much of what we have left is being damaged and once it’s gone, it can’t be replaced. But through restoration, we can stop the damage, encourage these habitats to recover and reverse years of decline

I think, in the name of health and safety, we need to trim back some of these MP's and their wages.
Just like the RSPCA putting animals down because they can’t be re-homed that’s proper protection
the rspca are not fit for purpose. The people collecting the animals are usually caring and decent. But then they just massacre the one's that cant be homed easily. My ex sister in law trained vet' nurses and in her spare time checked animals over at small local animal charities. She noticed some with rspca paperwork and at first dismissed it. However it happened quiet a few times and so she asked how come they had them. She was told that the rspca would ring and say they were full. And they would have to put the animals down if they could not find a new place for some. So if the smaller charity had space they would agree to take them, but of course they would then be dumped with the elderly animals that were difficult to home and the rspca made them sign for them...eg adopt them. So the rspca figures would show that they found a home for the animal (making them look good) and the small charity got stuck with a frail elderly one. Despite this practice/con they still put down massive numbers of animals a year, while having millions in the bank, top officials on huge wages and conning oap's into giving them donations in will's etc..........
Always give to the dogs trust ,blue cross or PDSA they are better at protecting animals and never put a healthy animal down....thanks.
There would be less animals needing re-homed if people would adopt from shelters, instead of buying puppies from greedy breeders, churning out designer / trendy labradoodles, cockadoodles ect.
And PETA, even worse.

What a pathetic excuse, so what about if someone steps off of the footpath and a twig falls on them. More wokeness and ridiculousness , that blights our daily lives now.
This has been going on since before "wokeness". It is party a result of adopting the American style compensation system that allows people to claim it is the owner of the land's fault if they get themselves injured while on the land.
This gives license to the landowners to then cut down any tree they like- they just have to designate the area next to it a footpath.
Or trip over all that wood that's lying around
Didn't nutters at Sheffield City Council do something similar just a few years ago to beautiful horse chestnut trees in case children injured themselves "conkering"?
If I remember, locals tried to stop it. But, in vain. It is vandalism; just done in the name of officialdom. People who permit this need to face sanctions thhat are immediately personal to them and their families, and to be banned from holding any and all public office FOR LIFE.
if someone trespasses on to your property, say they put a swing in a tree, and get an injury , or worse, the landowner is liable ,fact.

To be fair to the Woodland Trust, many of these trees will coppice and regrow and there is also the chance of natural regeneration if is has been a good seed year and enough light can get through to the forest floor.
@@diogenesegarden5152 There was an excellent report a couple of years ago recommending that we need more light coloured trees with pale bark to reflect sunlight away, to keep water in the ground. Even the fallen leaves being a lighter colour would do this. I live in Scotland and the only tree planting I see are dark conifers, which make dark hillsides and dark labdscapes. Has no one ever seen films or photos of New England in the Fall. I've been there and it's astonishing. The variety of colours has to be seen to be believed. Scotland could look like that. Scotland could use the tourists that love such scenery.
@@maureendavidson4635 I totally agree, that we need to move away from the strict monocultures, although they do provide a quicker return to land owners and investment houses like pension funds. The main issue we have is the economics of forestry as it currently stands. When you start looking at forestry as a single purpose economic crop, and factor in compound interest on the cost of establishment and maintenance such as planting, drainage, road building, fencing, weeding through the first few years, it simply isn’t a viable return on investment to plant slower growing broadleaved species which may take 200 years to mature as opposed to a relatively faster return of 65 to 80 years for the faster growing conifers like Sitka spruce. Although many have tried to factor in amenity and environmental benefits as a form of return on investment, when it comes down to ‘brass tacks’, unless there is significant funding to cover the shortfall, then the people who invest in forestry will be loathe to beautify the countryside. Ironically if there was a greater market for fuel wood and lower quality small dimension lumber, as organisations such as Coed Cymru (Welsh Woodlands) promote along with others organisations, and more people in the countryside willing to work these woodlands, then we would most likely have more beautiful, landscaped broadleaved woodlands. I have thought long and hard over the years how this can be achieved and have a few ideas as to how woodlands could be managed to achieve this. Interestingly, when the uplands are drained for agriculture and forestry, high rainfall periods can cause catastrophic flooding down stream, which ends up costing billions in damage, as the water flow spikes more sharply and is not allowed to stay stored on the land to be released slowly or sink in to refill the aquifers. So it is more about appropriate land use than anything else. This is why upland bogs are so important, apart from the interesting biodiversity and habitats they allow to flourish. I don’t want to write a complete essay on the subject here but hope it has helped is some way.
@@judythomas2939 sweet chestnut is a multi-purpose tree, it can be coppiced to provide excellent poles for fencing and building (they use them a lot in France for roofing poles) and fuel wood, it produces excellent nuts and, as you mentioned, has fine durable timber on a par with oak and is wonderful in the landscape as an amenity planting and it has all the benefits of trees for reducing soil erosion and increasing the water holding capacity of the soil. In the UK we used to manage coppice plantations solely for providing walking sticks for the National Health Service, back when it was a service and not a business. If managed as coppice with standards you can reap all these benefits. Unfortunately, as you say, this requires labour and management. In today’s world everything is about moving people out of the countryside (re: Agenda 21/30) and rapid returns with minimum effort.

it's not free tho, tax payers pay into it. Nothings free in life. But everyone has access to healthcare in this country yes.
@@tomw6947 if you make less then a certain amount then you don’t pay taxes so it can be free.
Also saying that nothings free is like saying there is no such thing as hot or cold. On a lower level of existence it doesn’t, it’s just motion. On a higher level it is, it’s perspective.
@@purpledevilr7463 I think my point went over your head, in simple terms I meant. If nobody paid tax then there would be no healthcare, so to say it's free is wrong. It's available to everybody regardless of your financial situation but it's not free. If you don't work and require healthcare then that bill is picked up by somebody else. That's why the NHS is special but it is getting privatised slowly.
@@tomw6947 obviously if no one paid then it wouldn’t be provided.

100% agree with you Nigel. World has gone mad. All being done in the name of...
MONEY!
all they had to do was put a sign enter at your own risk
Don't think it's as simple as that for areas that are open to public. Landowner has a responsibility to ensure safety along footpaths, so any dead, diseased and damaged trees would need to be pruned/removed. Sadly it's a sign of the times, as in if a tree or brach falls and injures or kills someone others will be asking why the land wasn't maintained to a higher standard. Landowner goes to court, found guilty of negligence or something else, fined plus possible imprisonment/criminal record.
And I would put money on all the people saying enter at own risk being ones that would be taking legal action of something happened to them and theirs.
It doesn't work like that as previous comment.

What utter devastation, I have never seen our forests in such a dire state. If trees have to come down because they are dead, then new trees should be planted to replace them. Land management should not be in the care of either Councils or Charities, but in the safe hands of those who know how to properly cultivate and prune trees like the RHS. England was once densily populated with forest, and it has almost all gone. Well done Nigel for raising this very important issue. Trees, not matchsticks and sawdust! 🤬
that's the most lame excuse I've ever heard for fully chopping whole trees down 🤔
What? Because the spread of ash dieback will kill even more trees if they don't? And potentially dangerous trees in public places and over roads? Sounds pretty good to me.

Good work as ever Nigel .
I remember mention of a case in the United States where s bunch of mature trees were cut down in a park because some kid fell off and broke his arm. At the time the story was run, an old British case was cited where the decision was made to leave trees up. They said all human activity entails risk. That risk has to be balanced against all the enjoyment the people will have by having the trees around. Looks like things have changed.
Might need to lop some branches Dont cut the whole tree down Unless it is ROTTEN..That is our stupid modern society these days

@@keith-nb8ps well said, and so sensible. Yes of course trees need to be managed for damage and disease, but we don’t need the whole tree cutting down.
@@keith-nb8ps Agree with you absolutely Kieth. The best of our knowledge is being forgotten it seems.
I have worked in conservation and very often it is to open woodland rides for woodland butterflies, flowers etc. UK woods have evolved with management so many species rely on glades and clearings. Even oak trees saplings flourish when more light gets to woodland floor. It can seem brutal but is beneficial if not essential.
Same happens here Nigel massive amounts of trees cut for Wood chips for green power plants.
That's terrible. They are doing exactly the opposite of what they are entrusted to do.

We've had several enquiries regarding our recent felling work at Blackbush & Twenty Acre Shaw Woods. Please see below for reasons why we're carrying out felling work👇
• The works being carried out at Blackbush and Twenty Acre Shaw are to manage the impact of ash dieback disease. Ash dieback is a fungal disease that affects ash trees and is unfortunately present in this woodland and prevalent across Kent and the wider UK countryside. There is no cure for ash dieback disease, and those trees affected become structurally unstable as the disease extends into the tree. As all Woodland Trust woods are open to the public, visitor safety is of utmost importance. We take the health and safety of every visitor to our woods extremely seriously, and we’re proud of that.
• We are legally obliged to ensure trees on our estate are safe and do not pose a hazard to visitors. Trees with ash dieback are annually inspected to check on advancement of the disease. A significant number of ash trees at Blackbush and Twenty Acre Shaw are in an advanced stage of decline and were felled to ensure public safety. Felling has concentrated on affected trees adjacent to paths, public rights of way, and roads. Diseased ash trees growing away from paths and roads are left, giving areas of the wood the time and space to naturally decline. This is in line with our best practice guidance for managing ash dieback on our estate that is applied consistently across the UK.
• Blackbush and Twenty Acre Shaw Woods are much loved woodlands, and we are grateful to everyone who helped us to purchase the first site in 1997, and to help continue the management for the past 23 years. These essential works will ensure that Blackbush and Twenty Acre Shaw woods is a safe and welcoming place for visitors, and the woodland habitat is safeguarded in the long term for the best they can be for wildlife and people.
• Ash dieback will kill around 80% of ash trees across the UK. At a cost of billions, the effects will be staggering. It will change the landscape forever and threaten many species which rely on ash. Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) is a fungus which originated in Asia, and its spread across Europe has devastated the population of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) because our native ash species did not evolve with the fungus and this means it has no natural defence against it.
• The threat of tree pests and diseases is one of grave concern to the Woodland Trust, not only because it may impact our own woods but also the wider woodland landscapes. It is why we have invested heavily in ensuring that every tree planted by the Woodland Trust is UK and Ireland Sourced and Grown. This means we can be confident that we will not be increasing the risk of importing similar devastating issues like ash dieback as we create new woods and will continue to campaign for a reduction in imported trees.
Year after year i've given a substantial sum for 30 years now which they themselves have told me is a significant part of their income, i'm now done with that until they come to their senses as i am utterly disgusted and appalled & feeling really quite ripped off now that they are doing this.
They have ruined the woods around the monument at trentham also. It used to be a magical bluebell wood. Now not a bluebell in sight, instead large tractor marks, fences and goats! Shameful what is happening to our countryside.
