Hit and run... the blonde bombshell can't discuss historical or current land-use decisions, what insecurity in his argument so blocks and bleats...

Oops has the @wtscotsocial.bsky.social PR machine overstepped the mark again? Conversations with foresters working for the WT are always more nuanced, yet the PR machine wades in with simple messages to complex problems... And WTF is that harvester doing within the RED ZONE of a powerline?

Always an important day in the UK forestry calendar.
Strongly recommend downloading or getting a paper copy - then you’ll be much better informed than the majority of people who debate U.K. forestry policy.

A former student of mine was laid off earlier this year from a major carbon market company. Apparently it had been hemoraging money for years, because carbon markets, especially those based on forests, have been contracting.

Yep, we have been let loose on a podcast!
Available to listen to by all, tomorrow afternoon.

Given the quality of Wall's last offering there is certainly room to fill his knowledge gaps.

Very good listen... www.patreon.com/posts/139095...

@monsterlander.bsky.social hiya you 🫢

@jamesnairne.bsky.social on reading ur ASHS 'The Full Circle' piece on 'Regenerative Timber Production' I wonder whether u have adequately reflected on the metrics used to describe regenerative timber production? In agriculture it implies that there's a product grown. #MetricRecalibration?

It is really an impact over time... Long Established Woodlands of Plantation Origin (know in Scotland as LEPO) feature on the Ancient Woodland Inventory... The plantations (often with maincrop non native species) take on characteristics of older woodland, species turn up and develop networks.

Ian's comments about there being no need for tree planting and trees being just a plant, carbon stored in grassland etc are pretty wide of the mark when you consider the reason why timber plantations exist.. little consideration for restructured scrub inclusive timber plantations?

Ian Parsons felt it essential to have a voice of a farmer. Was there consideration to get the view of a timber grower, given the spectrum of land use change?
