Hands Off Hartlebury Common

#36: SAM -

Thanks for the advice sam.

I have to "Bang on" about management as it is the principal tool- excuse for forcing a Restoration of the common.

I promise I won't mention "Management" again when everybody else does the same.

With reference to the enclosure act, it is just one detail which is incorrect with the WCC proposal, there are many other factors and to focus on just one would be negligent on my part.

I have read the quotes you have enclosed before, thank you.

The trouble is grazing is this instance (up to 33 cattle) is just window dressing for a space of this sort. They will graze areas that were definitley afforded the protections of both SSSI grants within wooded areas. This is not on. also, the cattle will trash the wetland area and pond.

And your last point about having to graze, so its not going to be a fire risk then. Come on.

Dont take my word for it though, have a look at the bottom half of this web page which relates to Hartlebury common, I think your ranger friend should have alook too.
