Summary:
Heard Committee was all very much against ARW's plan of introducing "foreign trees" - want a "true English forest" - Cttee themselves have already begun planting foreign trees - avenue of poplars which are the common Lombardy and Black Poplars - no doubt think they are British because they are common.
