What to do with me Bush

I'd agree, but some farmers have no respect for the ground or environment so rules have to be made to encompass all types

Correct but wouldn't any repercussions be ultimately dealt with by the department

I used always do this, i did it this year to be informed that I'd need to apply to the council for a burn permit, it's still in the same place as a couple of the neighbours would ring the fire brigade if they saw the smoke so I'll let it rot away, it's all the 1 to me as it's not in the way

That's something very few would think of, a lot of insects hibernate in dead foliage over the winter not least of all the honey bee queen's, we just have to come around to thinking not everything has to be clean and tidy, a big pile of bushes would hold a lot of wildlife important to the wider ecological landscape

It's worse, think of anaerobic digestion when it's left to decay like that it then also produces methane instead of just Co2 and methne is a far more potent greenhouse gas, like 250 times worse than the equivalent Co2
