  Paul Skotchie, I came across the following research on the Mendely web-page under
  biological sciences:
  
  "Undergrowth clearing is a widespread forest management technique used in many Mediterranean regions to reduce dense vegetation in order to prevent fire."
  
  As you can see here, the ecosystem is not killed off, but protected against fires, so the idea is not actually mine, but a wide-spread practice in regions which experience dry summers.
  The text goes on to state:
  
  "To reconcile forest management and bird diversity, undergrowth clearing should be applied selectively to ensure that a certain number of undergrowth patches, preferably corresponding to different shrub species, are not affected by management treatments."
  
  So in undergrowth clearing, attention is given to biodiversity.
  
  Further research on various web-sites shows that the undergrowth is transformed into compost within the woods, so there is no mention of lining people along the motorways with buckets.
  
  So perhaps there might be some work going at long last in Kent for vigorous and enthusiastic people in search of more work. Let's hope so!
