Green it looks: grey it is!
Woodland urbanisation
The Gore Glen woodland project and others like it under the Forestry Commission Scotland's Woods In and Around Towns initiative is urbanising and undermining valuable havens for wildlife and in many cases converting them into little more than dog lavatories and anti-social behaviour venues. Some time ago I spent a few hours at a Woodland Trust woodland, where all visitors except for one arrived by car to "empty" their dogs - and all running wild without leads. This is not conservation of the natural environment; it is the exploitation and destruction of what should be woodland sanctuaries for wildlife and is no less part of expanding development than that of the built-up environment.
