Here we go folks Part II of my walk  along the north-west side of the hill-fort observing the changes, the Clearing of  habitats and ecosystems for  archaeology and for  private agendas---To clear on this extent  there must be a good incentive--may be a business incentive to inspire such energy to rake and hack and chop the  world of living organisms where bees, bats, birds and butterflies roam, where the deer stroll in the quiet areas off track and us humans come for peaceful reflection about the state of the world , our lives and those of others----the Covid Pandemic  just shows how much the woods have been appreciated recently---all sorts of people, dogs and children enjoy the woods and discover the history without it having to be stripped bare--without destructive archaeology ripping the place to pieces-------BUT it will be interesting to see how the fulcrum tips--- such is humanness---interesting to become aware of the behind scenes stuff as well---It was very interesting to watch an online presentation  yesterday involving someone from the local council interviewing Chris Sperring a well known wild-life and owl person---Despite talking about the love of wildlife in WSM and 'Bigger Worle'  they carefully avoided mentioning anything to do with Worlebury woods and the Clearing and yet this is really a very important issue----a clearing process with no real consensus or any real communication with  the people of WSM, Somerset or nationally---It was so obvious the subject was  avoided with both participants in the talk claiming they knew very little about it--Weston Woods stands tall and bold on the landscape and is abundant with wild-Life BUT we all know why it was avoided in this conversation because this destructive clearing  is being condoned-----somebody wants brownie points --maybe an OBE---------Woods attract people and their creative natures--inspires them, soothes and heals them.
