Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

And that's not having a go at Dv or B Rubble rightly pointing out public perception. It's at "public" and politicians not properly informing said public.

Cycled past there recently. Yes, a *lot* of trees. Not huge area though. Glad to see a bit more forestry in the Dales, there's an awful lot of bare hillsides.

They will need looking after as the weather is drier. We have had to water our small amount from April onwards due to the lack of rain and hotter weather. We have lost 10 out of 426

Which of the Dales is that @jda? I drove up Wharfedale and over into Swaledale a couple of weeks ago and both still looked a bit bleak…

Littondale, I believe. Yes it's still mostly bare, but there are little chunks of forest here and there.

I do like having some views, however - when we lived in Japan, all the hillsides were thickly forested up to the 2000m treeline, so you could walk all day and barely see anything. But we're a long way from that!

Yes. Littondale. Up dale from Litton Village. They also have planted a lot of trees just up dale from Arncliffe in Littondale over the last couple of years. Great to see.

Which side of the valley?

Might have to update our O maps.

Hi
I've seen environment (whether emissions, power, climate change, access to countryside, whatever you think of as "environment") discussed in various threads: Politics (obviously), the Electric Car thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/electric-car-anyone-61481/ , run free's excellent "Competitive Running and Keeping The Environment Clean" fetcheveryone.com/forum/running-competitively-keeping-our-environment-clean-60907/ my own Greta Thunberg thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/greta-thunberg---jfk-for-the-climate-generation-61044/ etc. but I haven't seen a general one.

So here it is. For those interested in the science, the politics, the action for (and I'll state that for me, this is mostly pro-environment, anti-emissions, anti-pollution etc.) and the hope for the future of our planet.
