More stories from Bukovlje #74 - Council destruction

How the council destroyed some of our hedges, some plum trees and a walnut tree in order to make the road 'extra' wide to accommodate a rally of old timer military vehicles that spent 10 minutes in a field in the middle of nowhere, and which no one saw. Widening the road by cutting back the foliage made absolutely no difference. Not only that but they destroyed a clump of extremely rare lizard orchids that I had cordoned off to protect them.

I feel your pain about the Lizard orchids Andrew. My other half Pete says keep an eye on what grows back, sometimes that sort of destruction can open up the seed bank. There may be a positive x

I am so sorry and feel your unhappiness. So much destruction for nothing. Lets hope somehow the lizard orchids may manage to regenerate for next year and the branches of the trees and hedges grow back in due course. Nature can be very resilient sometimes.

There are no words . The damage done looks very like the things that happen here in UK. Locally a sign was put up not to mow as there were orchids and they almost took it as an invitation - all gone. Bastards. All of Croatia to choose where it wouldn't be necessary to destroy and for what ???? Men and their toys and for 10 minutes of showing off . Despicable. I'm sorry you had to suffer seeing this Andrew

Could the Orchids be transplanted if the grow again ? Sad news Andrew.

Thats plane crazy .Why not just cut an opening to the field if its not been opened for years But Andrew I have cut back hedges not cut for 35years down to 5ft as a stump and all grown back .Give it a year and as we say after knife becomes growth.

Totally reckless and mindless. Speak of merciless beings - there they are. Sorry about the damage. Mark

Someone in that group had political power. Hence the rapid cleanup done roughly.
