'Build it and they will come' 

Clint (Our East wood) was too overgrown and some diseased Ash trees needed to be removed. While I hate cutting down any tree (most trees), I thought I would put the wood to good use and make some wildlife friendly habitat log piles for insects, newts and hopefully provide some wood that will be useful for stag beetle larvae. We live in hope. I am taking the  build it and they will come approach to managing my 6 acres for wildlife. This stack is at the top of the pond and in a rough area of grass adjoining the wood.
