what to do with myself and my land...

Chap I work for has had a pond dug and filled with fish although he says that it's too easy to catch them in it but recently while working there I noticed a heron in the tree. An hour later it was still there, two hours later it was still there , four hours later I decided to take a walk down to get a closer look only to find a ......plastic heron still it does seem to keep the real ones away.

Short rotation coppicing - willow. Sorry OH just called me to do something. Look it up.

As far as planting trees go make sure they are damp tolerant: alder, aspen, bird cherry, black poplar, hawthorn, rowan, silver birch & willows will do well in such conditions
