I guess I should have bought some land years ago and planted it myself. What a pleasure it must be to watch your own little woodland come to life . I,LL keep pretending that the woodland at Garadice is all mine and I,ll just put up with all those strangers who visit it. Enjoy the Spring. Eunan.

I feel sure the alder will only help with whatever option you decide on. Plus they will give you a bit of firewood here and there along the way. Jan Thanks for this Martin.

Weather is a powerful force. In my own woodland, conserved under the Native Woodland Scheme, the river that was so high a fortnight ago has breached the bank and inundated a stand of mainly alder. The river has since retreated, the alder are of course well able to cope but it will happen again and gradually encroach. It is now a debate whether to reinforce the bank or let nature continue this erosion. Martin Good to see the beauty of the snow in your woodlands and recognise the miracle of renewal with spring.
