Update on Mid Dome Wilding Pines
Thanks to Richard Bowman for an update on the Mid Dome Wilding Pine removal (see attached here). As he explains, great progress was made over the last few years with Jobs for Nature funding, however with that gone the Trust is looking for funds to complete the work on Pinus contorta and P mugo that was reaching it’s final stages. Sadly there’s a new wilding appeared with the spread of douglas fir, an issue that ES staff recently outlined to the ES councillors. This is a very real threat in the future, both economically and environmentally, and so another battle begins.
