I acquired this lovely field a couple of weeks ago - although not the cattle currently living there. I'm planning to turn it into new woodland, but I need to jump through many hoops first to secure some grant funding. For now, you'll just have to imagine the trees 🌳.

Ancient woodland closed after years of illegal dumping of commercial waste, in Ashford
Illegally dumped commercial waste covers Hoad's Wood, a 199-acre site of protected ancient woodland that has seen industrial-scale illegal dumping since 2020 reaching heights of 12 feet and leading to its recent closure as campaigners continue their fight to have the site cleared, in Ashford, Britain.
