Campaigner Claims HEATH Project Damages Nature Site

Jezz Anbleydh writes: Natural "England" in its horrific HEATH Project, aims to destroy the intrinsic nature and character of the Penwith Moors. The National Trust is currently wreaking havoc near the Four Parishes Stone, south of Carn Galva. In this lonely place, where no vehicles, including tractors, ever go, are earthmovers scooping up and destroying great swathes of virgin moorland and heaping them over the medieval and post-medieval hedges to increase their height, all in the name of "stock-proofing". The damage being done to the natural habitat and visual amenity is horrendous. No attempt is being made to employ local hedging techniques. An eyesore is being created, with history, archaeology and wildlife habitat being destroyed. Full article.
