Many of those hedgerows had been there for centuries, and were bastions of biodiversity. The loss of conservation belts is bad news on so many different fronts -- i'ts horrifying! Penny-wise and pound-foolish, as ever. andrea This is similar to the UK when equipment for large-scale farming became more available, and acres of hedgerows were ripped out to create larger fields.

I've recently been privy to some talks of acquiring natural lands in perpetuity for listed species. In perpetuity makes me nervous when talking of listed species. It's all great if perpetuity really means forever. Although, it seems humans sometimes have a different definition of what perpetuity is, and that isn't defined as eternal.
