nature care... my arse! money makers!

Is this taking care of nature? The annual cutting hasnt been as aggressive as this year, oil prices have anything to do with it?

Two of my caches have been "disturbed" by the "green workers". Another cacher jvdm1632 sent in some pictures of the current situation at Wilderpark Drieling . Luckly during the recon of the park I took some pictures of the same location from the same angle.

So a large part of a beautyfull little park has been reduced to a pile of dirt and wood debri. I'm no tree-surgeon, so if anyone could tell me this is all for the greater good... let's hear it.





jvdm1632 sent me a link to the news site... guess what, the town of Bilzen (owner of the park) is selling firewood ... golly.

translated:

BILZEN : At the Wilderpark some (some?) trees have been cut and with this cutting lots of crownwood has come available. The council has decided to put it up for sale as firewood.
From tuesday january 27th, interested parties can place their bid.
