I am so sad and annoyed this morning.

They are topping more trees in Cathedral Grove.

The place that was literally shown to the world during the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Olympics now has dozens of headless 30-50ft tall, 300 year old, stumps.

Because “safety”, I assume.

There has been a road through this park for 100 years, but it took until the 2020s for someone to decide there were “danger trees”.

We’re all idiots.

I am going to try to take a picture this morning of the new cuts but it is all blocked off as they work so it will be hard or impossible. I’ll do my best.

What are we doing. Why are we like this? 😢

The photo is from earlier this year. Most of the headless trees are along the road, but not all. This shows one along the walking path.

Black-a-Tor Copse, Dartmoor. One of the few remains of ancient temperate rainforest in England, nestled in the valley. Magical place.
