Folks changes are a coming to the beautiful Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve & in my opinion NOT all for the good!!
There has been lots of conflicting reports & rumours over the last year about the actual work being carried out in Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve.
There is a press release happening Monday 11th Oct & the plans are available at the RANGERS STATION near the cafe & campsite Work starts in November, From what i have heard the WHOLE area is going to be cleared of ALL TREES ( a few left Copiced) & the Rhododendrons cleared, NOT as i was lead to believe just a thinning out of the TREES & ALL Rhododendron cleared, They say to return it back to HEATHLAND !!! urrrrm can someone tell me WHEN Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve was a Heathland ?? i've lived around Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve for 40yrs & never seen it as such,
Please folks go see the plans & raise your objections BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE !!
Who cares if you can see all the Lakes standing in one spot Who gives a Toss if some of the houses cannot see the Cathedral ?? WHAT total utter BOLLOCKS This conservation work is NOT what is best for Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve, so Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve does not have ground nesting birds whoopadee fucking doo, it has a whole host of other fantastic wildlife.
FUNGI
What a cracking year for Fungi in Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve, As you can see from previous posts & with that comes the RAPISTS they are not FORAGERS as they do not just take what they need for a meal they take everything they see put the Fungi in PLASTIC carrier bags (not wicker which lets the Fungi Spore)
The main culprits are Eastern Europeans who say "Where we come from we can do this" well go back where you come from then or ABIDE by OUR LAW !!
A cheery picture to end with my first sighting this year of HOLLY berries,
Also i'm pleased to announce that some of the rubbish that was dumped along Walcot bank has been removed.
Agree with you there mate regards the trees, LEAVE THEM ALONE!
ReplyDeleteSurely we need the trees in the nature reserve for the wildlife otherwise it won't hold as much wildlife in my opinion.
Regards the eastern europeans, while out on sunday I saw just the same bloke and his female partner both with carrier bags comming out of the bushes, cheeky b'stards, I just hope what they eat makes them sick!
