Thank you for this essay, such an important topic to write about and for people to be aware of - that our rolling fields and hedgerows are actually an almost-desert. How wonderful it would be to know the forest may recover one day. And I loved the poem.

Thank you for your poem and your prose. We need to bring the life back into hedges and our fields.
Thank you Fiona. I can think of a few not too far away from here that could do with it pretty soon...
