\nA notice had been placed near the River Ock to say that The Carbon Cutters had permission to plant ten Alder trees alongside the River. They were put there as part of church twinning.
\n
\nSeven of the ten trees were thriving in May (when the picture above was taken) and a few days ago when I last walked that way. A lot of the field had been cut for hay, but a wide border had been left near the River.
\n
\nReturning that way this morning, I saw that the field had been cut much closer to the bank, an area used by wildlife, and all the alders had been cut down.
\n
\nThese trees were planted to help the environment and provide a habitat for wildlife. But instead, they have been cut along with a strip of wildlife habitat.

\nThe landowner is the Vale of White Horse District Council. They need to make sure that whoever leases their fields protect wildlife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
