Think you'll find it's all part of a renewable resources policy, trees that have been planted then matured are cut down to be used & new trees are planted so the resource will be available in the future, common sense really.
Trees???

That's not the reason quoted on posters on Grane. Somethiing to do with the fact that the trees were not "indigenous" and therefore not good for wildlife, although there was plenty of wildlife there before the habitat was decimated. I suspect that United Utilities just wanted to make some extra cash by selling timber.
All that apart, it doesn't explain why we are planting trees on open meadow. Incidentally I have yet to speak to one person locally who actually agrees with what's been done.

Grane Res is United Utilities land. The land I am talking about isn't. Don't know who owns it for sure. I do know that it used to be mown for hay so at some point a farmer must have owned it in some way, even if only renting it. The meadow is just off the railway line path at Baxenden, in between the woods behind Hollins school and St. Georges football pitches.
I do think your trying to flap without wings, in your first post you said:-
So you don't go there often but now it seems to be a priority, you asked for answers, you're getting them, do you know enough about the land to say what is the best purpose it should be used for? Or are you just in rant mode because you hate change, even if the change is to something you hardly ever see?
If you don't like trees, the feeling is probably mutual.

I used to go there every morning but had to stop because work commitments meant I didn't have time. The fact of the matter is I would still do that every day but I have now been put off by environmental vandalism so please stop talking out of complete ignorance of the facts, Less.
As far as answers go I think you will find, if you look at my original question, I haven't had a single one.
Margaret, your statement is a nonsense because, again, if you look at my original post and actually read it you would find that I said I like trees as much as anyone, probably more.

I assume then, Less, that your attitude to the environment is, "If I don't go there it doesn't matter".
Nothing is "beginning". I simply asked a question. It's not a major deal to me whether I get an answer or not, my response previously was to your statement, "You wanted answers, now your getting them". To which I was simply replying, "No I'm not". As I pointed out, looking through the thread, no one has answered my question at all. It's not a problem to me and if no-one can answer the question it doesn't matter.
As far as the "nonsense" term is concerned perhaps I was being a bit unfair to Margaret. I should maybe just have pointed out that she had mis-read my original post.

Please don't 'assume', if you know for a fact that the above is true then post it otherwise keep your inaccurate conclusions to yourself.
Just to put you out of your misery, I love tree's in fact I am probably directly responsible for the trees you have such a Bee in your buttocks about.
I love trees so much I bulk buy Velvet toilet rolls just because they plant three trees for every tree I use. (I could send you a pack if you want, you could wipe the BS off your keyboard).
Ah, as they say, less is more. More than happy to start an argument but not so happy when someone bites back.
I'm afraid that the world is full of people who make assumptions, including you my friend, but your "assumptions" about me don't offend me. I can brush them aside, as indeed you can, if you really try.

Deary me, right on track, trying to make fun of the name, how many have taken that obvious path?
Please allow me to inform you, you are not my friend, until you do something worthwhile on site you won't be my 'friend', you are just a newbie with a hatred to you're own personal change.
What did you think we would do when you started this thread? Light torches and attack the so called swine that dared to plant trees where you don't want them?
Well here's some news, we get folk like you every week always wanting their pet hate to be backed up, they always start off exactly how you did, then suprise, suprise get upset when they don't get the backup that they think they deserve.
You can carry on the way you are, or you could change your attitude and become a worthwhile member of the site.
Perhaps now would be a good time to shut up and go hug a tree until you have calmed down?
think if you look closely at his posts it tells you
The only thing is Less is in with the valuation on here and hopefully you'll get to like him, I have
They call a spade a shovel on here houseboy
Excuse me?
It was you that started addressing posts directly at members wasn't it?
Perhaps you should consider who has been attempting (and failing) to insult whom?
So yeh class it as bile,when its a different viewpoint to yours? Cos i have read nothing on this thread i regard as bile.
