if you don't want to hug a tree you could allways build tree houses,and rent them out to those on benefits.

It's not sentimentality, Philip, it is enlightened self interest and looking at the bigger picture. (See what I mean about a lack of sense of connection with the natural world?).
Ancient woodland covers 2 per cent of our land area so to say that we need to build over it is absurd, and in my view amounts to an ecological crime.
As Kath says, ancient woodland is also about biodiversity, or does that, like global warming and Father Christmas, not actually exist?
