how it is

Any drainage that existed before the trees were planted will have been destroyed by the root systems of the trees thus creating the waterlogged areas that are part of a living wood. small areas of woodland cannot withstand the excessive footfall demands made upon them in this day and age without the support of some kind of defensive management like that the woodland Trust was trying to provide in this case,
