The British landscape has evolved around human presence over many thousands of years. This is established woodland with a functioning ecology and who's to say it's less valid than some previous system. Most importantly it's home to a community of mature trees doing there bit to maintain air quality and curb climate change, and it's an invaluable habitat for established bird and insect colonies now facing displacement or eradication.

To learn that it is to be subjected to such brutal cutting, no matter how good the improvement may ultimately be, threatens too many creatures. All are dependent upon it now and to submit them all to such unnecessary stress is unacceptable. I encourage the Commission to adopt the incremental alternative proposed by the local inhabitants.

I first visited there in the mid 1980's when the windy hill was largely bare of trees. Then I was absent for many years until I returned in 2002. As a keen birder, I was impressed with the transformation of the habitat, and the increased numbers and species of birdlife. I understand the importance of reinstating native forests, but I encourage you to adopt the gradual conversion being encouraged by local residents.

It will be an even bigger disgrace if the Forestry Commision allow it to happen. This plan of action from the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust needs to be fought right to the bitter end.

(which it never was, it was rough pasture). then they wanted a site for curlew, lapwing and snipe. now swt want to plant deciduous trees, (which wont grow to any height anyway), for species such as redpoll and willow warbler! willow warbler are a common species and redpoll nested in good numbers at gib tor, till swt chopped the trees down!

The trees and forestry are an essential part of the landscape and biodiversity bringing shelter to the fauna, flora and human activity that has flourished in this part of the Peak District at Gib Tor Brund Hill, now known as Black Brook.

My family history is steeped in Gib Tor. The birds are obviously breeding there and using this forest as a safe haven.

Leave it alone.

The views were fantastic, it was great to see wild deer crossing the road between the woodland areas. I drive past now it is saddening to see wide swathes of the forest decimated. The area is surrounded by moorland & it is the only wooded area for miles around. Staffordshire wildlife Trust seem intent on returning the area to moorland at the expense of its natural inhabitants and neighbours to encourage a few wild birds

Rather than seek funding for what should happen at the location, the Wildlife Trust blow in the wind with whatever funding stream happens to come along.
