Thank you for your comment.

I reccomend that you examine some of the trees that have been cut down, a lot of them are clearley over 25 years old.

What would you prefer, more fires or to keep the common as it is now. The point is that on a common  this level of interference is wrong.

Up to half of the existing woodland is to go including the two plantations as well as the pine woods. These three plantations were clearley there 25 years ago. I also have the book you mention, it shows snapshots in time, nothing more.

Apparentley, it has not been managed for 100yrs, so therfore, it should be woodland by now, sustantiated by your comment.
