Quite a few years ago I recall that Forestry UK (or their predecessor) made a promise to restore Guisborough Woods to mixed woodland after the felling of the current crop. In fact I remember going to a local RSPB lecture by one of their representatives who promised that this would be the outcome.
So what are they beginning to plant now in the cleared areas? Yes, solid non-native conifers.
Is anyone who is more able than me (I broke my neck three years ago) able to remonstrate with them about this?
