I have been visiting Hartlebury Common for the entire 50 years of my life and have been devastated by the loss of the mature trees to the point that I barely recognised it when I walked my dog last week. What about ecological biodiversity? The mature trees have provided habitat for a diverse range of birds and mammals. I do not believe that this is not wilful destruction in the name of so-called conservation. As pointed out, the common has been managing itself for many years now; heathland has been a substantial part of that. The cattle did absolutely nothing. Common land has been fenced, which is anathema in itself. The local people did not want this but they have no say; and we apparently live in a democracy! what a farce.
