I woke up early this morning and decided to go for a walk in the local woods.
I haven't been up there very much lately because of some major forestry/logging works going on, but all seems quiet today...
The place looks very different now.
Many non-native conifers have been removed and there is a plan in place to return this area to it's natural "Peat-Bog" state. The bog was drained many years ago to enable the trees to be planted and they've only just twigged (see what I did there? LOL) that natural Peat Bog is actually much better for the environment, Bio-Diversity and Carbon-Capture than the trees are!
The logging works have left a carpet of stumps and sticks on the ground, so there is currently a plentiful supply of potential WOODEN MUSHROOMS!!
6am, BigG, with a coffee (in my travel mug) and my trusty Swiss Army Knife in hand... 10 mins later...
TaDa!!
Duly "released" back into the wild!
Job Done.
