Much has been said recently about the effects of building many more
houses in Hertfordshire, and Welwyn Hatfield in particular, and how this
will impact on the quality of life in the most densely populated of the
home counties.
 |
However, no
one yet has spoken of the potentially catastrophic effect this
will have on the bio-diversity of the area.
Much play has been made by Defra of the need to protect and
improve the bio-diversity in the UK. Well, now is their chance
to do something to do just that. |
It may have been a
coincidence but about the same time as the inspector’s report demanding
more houses in Welwyn Hatfield, bringing the total up to 10,000, the
Butterfly Conservation Trust issued an update to its ongoing species
survey in Hertfordshire. What it found was Hertfordshire has suffered
the loss of more species than any other county in the UK.

No one is
suggesting this is all down to house building, but it is a
warning sign for us who live here that human activity threatens
to destroy natures creatures. So saying NoWay to 10k is not
being a Nimby, you might just help prevent losing even more
butterflies and moths, let alone all the birds that feed on
their caterpillars. |
