Eco-Lovers

This afternoon we went with friends for a walk in a local woodland where they have a specific management regime: "The management of the reserve is aiming to slowly remove the tree species that were planted in the 1950`s and encourage the chalk loving ash trees that would have once dominated the wood. Thinning and selective felling of the shade casting sycamores and beech trees is allowing light to the woodland floor and encouraging regeneration of flora and ash trees. The timber removed is used to produce charcoal in the wood. This environmentally friendly and sustainable process involves cooking the timber for approximately 20 hours. Once cooled, the charcoal is graded, bagged and distributed to local suppliers".

I spotted this 'graffiti' written on these cut tree branches in charcoal as opposed to the normal carving in a tree trunk and am not sure whether Rosie and Will think their love won't last or whether they are nature loving eco-lovers!
