The remodelling of Dames Slough drain some years ago has had the desired effect, the environs of the reinstated forest rivulet are significantly wetter for longer. As a consequence a broad band of adjacent trees have found it impossible to tolerate their new habitat, succumbing to the damp conditions. This is a reoccurring phenomena wherever waterways are restored to their former pre Victorian courses. Reminding us that the forest was once a much wetter landscape all round.
