I often think that decaying chipboard is rather sad, as you realise that its made up of left over bits of trees.

Yes, sad also because the photos show decaying chipboard surfaces from boards in a run-down area of town. So, they are emblematic of the demise of woodlands, unsustainable destruction of trees, and the decline of a seaside resort.

Was down that way earlier this week and noticed a concerted campaign to cut down gorse (noticed tree stumps too) on the cliff between Branksome and Canford Cliffs behind a row of huts. I’m confused about the rationale behind this, as it’s certainly destructive of wildlife habitat, looks ugly and I can’t see the benefit in slowing erosion.

I haven’t been there for quite a time and I haven’t seen this shrub-cutting myself. It is a loss of habitat and hence biodiversity, and there is a worrying trend of “tidying up” in public areas. I wonder if the rationale in some cases like this has something to do with the potential misuse of such places – more a social and cultural reason.
