Bird-brained plan for airport woodIT WILL look like a wood, itwill have trees with the breeze rustling through the leaves, but there will be something missing. In what is thought to be a unique move, Luton council is set to plant a special forest. The council wants to establish a new wood at Wigmore Valley Park, but because the site is next to Luton airport, regulators have demanded that the trees should not attract birdlife. Trees which don’t produce bird-attracting berries or seeds will be chosen. The Civil Aviation Authority says that too many birds in the airport flight path could be a danger, but the move is likely to anger the conservation lobby. |
