Re: Trees???
That's not the reason quoted on posters on Grane. Somethiing to do with the fact that the trees were not "indigenous" and therefore not good for wildlife, although there was plenty of wildlife there before the habitat was decimated. I suspect that United Utilities just wanted to make some extra cash by selling timber.
All that apart, it doesn't explain why we are planting trees on open meadow. Incidentally I have yet to speak to one person locally who actually agrees with what's been done.
