Floodplain in Spring, HFF

Floodplain in Spring, HFF
A 42 acre of unspoiled and lush floodplain almost in the center of Bridgwater in the county of Somerset which sadly will be turned into an Eco park, The high ground to the right is the bank of one of the many water courses that cross the area and the Quantock Hills form the backdrop,

On black please

For the sight and Sound group, Somerset own "The Wurzels" and The Blackbird of which many nest in the area. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeCwr9MmiIc

 Keith Burton
Keith Burton club
This is a really stunning landscape Roger.................I love those lush greens dotted with wildflowers and no doubt filled with amazing wild life too. I like the laid back curve of the fence too.

An Eco Park sounds ominous......................if they want the area to be ecological, why don't they just leave it alone? Nature is quite capable of doing "eco" without any help from us!

Anyway - rant over! HFF to you and have a smashing weekend.
5 years ago.
Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you Keith, It's beautiful as it is and teems with wildlife but they want to make more accessible with pathways for the cycle brigade and for pushchairs, then more fences and other attractions usually follow, The fence I suspect was shaped by bovine backsides who graze the ground in dry weather.

Hi Roger

I really like these buttercups growing in the meadow.

Many years ago I had a big argument with some 'environmental expert' bloke who wanted to cut a load of trees down to make a 'nature park'. His reason for cutting them all down.. "They are not a native species".. OK, I asked, if you cut them down, where do the birds live?

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend

It looks just beautiful as it is. A common in the next village which is supposedly being nurtured for wild flowers and insects now has hardly any. It's got a good and unnecessary crop of gates and fences instead.

What exactly is the plan for this area, Roger? An ecopark on a floodplain doesn't seem like a great idea. Love this wonky fence mind you.
Belated HFF and a good weekend
5 years ago.
Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Amelia club
Thank you Amelia, The district council acquired the are in a land-swap with a developer who could not use the land anyway but now are short of ideas what to do with it except plant some trees and lay a number of cycle tracks and bridges across the ground. what comes next is the problem, petitions to leave it alone have been ignored.

A stunning capture, Roger!

The turning of this unique floodplain landscape into an Eco park is a real disaster. Is there no initiative against it?

Wish you a wonderful weekend!

Thank you, many disagreed and petitions were raised but overruled or ignored by the local district council.
