The Forestry Commission have managed to pull off one of the best political "spins" in recent years by releasing their Delivery Plan for England's Trees, Woods and Forests while the rest of us were queuing in Argos or fighting over the last parsnip in Tesco during the run up to Christmas.We at EborForestry can only guess that this was a typically calculated piece of government shenanigans released at a time when they knew that most hard working, credit-crunched foresters would be sat in a traffic jam on York`s outer ring-road trying to deliver the government`s woodfuel strategy by delivering 1/2 a tonne of logs to Mrs Miggins in a clapped out Toyota Hi-lux and would therefore be too preoccupied to pay any attention to the endless emailed press releases advertising ice cream concessions in the New Forest!
Anyway, Mrs Ebor Forestry sat up half the night recently tryimg to work out how her new ring-binding machine worked which I had thoughtfully bought her for Christmas and the document awaits Ebor Forestry`s perusal under the Husqvarna bib and brace PPE which I also thought she might like for those romantic evenings in.
Let us know what you think.
No, I couldn`t be bothered reading it either.
