Name: David W Badcock on Feb 21, 2010Comments: It is time for us who love the beauty of Scilly to make ourselves heard and let these people know how many of us completely disagree with this destructive practise, leave nature to it's own devicesFlag

Name: Mrs Beverley White on Feb 21, 2010Comments: It seems a pity that the islands are being ruined in the name of conservation. There must be a way to keep the cattle and preserve the footpaths for those who love to walk in such beautiful surroundings.Flag

Name: Helen Greagsby on Feb 21, 2010Comments: I have keeping coming to scilly for the last 25 years, and was appalled last summer, when walking from Bar point round to Juliets for some lunch. The cattle were really nearby, and my children were terrified that they were going to touch the electric fence. It was so close to the path, that it was almost unavoidable - I have never seen anything like it before on Scilly. We were restricted as to where we could walk, and also the cow pats were widespread.Flag

Name: Glenys Mackie on Feb 21, 2010Comments: As a Scillonian in exile I can't bear to see what is being done to my lovely homeland in the name of progress. We visit every year and Bryher and St Marys have places difficult to access. We never needed such measures before and everything worked liked clockwork during my childhood. Please don't continue to destroy this wonderful paradise called "Scilly" GlenysFlag

Name: Simon TIdswell on Feb 21, 2010Comments: The amount of distruction has gone too far and the fences and muck are counter productive to the islands. I visited with my family in 08 and had problems with fenced off areas and the cattle themselves. There must be better methods of controling vegetation. The islands rely on tourism, bad experiences mat mean on return trips.Flag

Name: Lindsay Sawyer on Feb 21, 2010Comments: As an island girl, it makes me sad to see some of the work being done on St Mary's, last week I couldn't walk round the Garrison lower paths due to cows/fences. Porth Hellick Downs are better for being 'cropped', though the paths are in a shocking state, and though there were no animals up there last week, there was so much manure you couldn't avoid stepping in it. Plus where the burning around the main chamber has been done - half job!! looks worse than before!! I'd be more impressed if the Trust 'sorted' the tracks/drainage out there!Flag

Name: David & Karen Bayliss on Feb 21, 2010Comments: We agree with the aims of this petition..we have been visitors to Scilly for many many years and have seen more and more damaged and fenced off areas and less and less of the islands foot paths maintained to a state where they are safe to walk along...on many occasions we have found paths unmanaged...cattle blocking what is left of an overgrown path forcing us to through gorse and bracken..hemmed in by electric fences and walking through cow mess....small trees on hedges eaten or damaged by wandering cattle...we found parts of the island that we love now almost 'no go' areas..please return Scilly to the way it was not so many years ago...or we may as well stay back in Cornwall where things are not as badly managed.Flag

I feel very proud of my birth place and the place where my forefathers can be traced back a few centuries. Good luck and congratulations to David, someone else who can trace back ancestors for a considerable number of years. KEEP SCILLY SCILLYFlag

My parents & their ancestors would turn in their graves if they knew what you had done to the gorse etc etc You call it progress......I call it interference.Flag

Name: Alec Hicks on Feb 21, 2010Comments: I agree with David it would be nice to see the trust prove to us that what they are trying to achieve in one area, rather than wrecking the whole of the headlands. A lot of the nesting birds use the gorse, brambles and bracken to nest in during the breeding season. Surely, their habitat is being removed and not encouraged?Flag

Name: Angela Everiss on Feb 21, 2010Comments: The fencing and cattle/ponies are destroying what the visitors such as myself come for. Where are all the flora and fauna to live once they're habitats grazed and burnt to extinction. Please leave the inhabitants to look after the island as they have for generations, we visitors enjoy them just the way they were, if driven away, there will be no income for the islands and the future will become bleak. The tiny eco system will not tolerate the heavy handed approach that it currently has to endure-you are destroying it!Flag

Name: Diana Hicks on Feb 21, 2010Comments: What a sorry state of affairs when the beautiful Isles of Scilly are ruined by electric fencing. The islanders need the tourist trade, but if this is the way forward, then I believe that there will be a reduction in the visitors. Not only that, I can see several people through no fault of their own being electrocuted and compensation claims being made. Someone in higher authority must look into this, such as the Duchy of Cornwall, or don't they care about the effect that this is having.Flag

Name: Neil Farmer on Feb 21, 2010Comments: It seems as though the Wildlife Trust has a one-fits-all policy - and doesn't take into account local views/ideas. And the new electric fence gates where you unhook and lay on the ground - it that was a private landlord - then surely they would be done under Health and Safety for endangouring people/dogs etc.Flag

Name: Carol Hicks on Feb 21, 2010Comments: I am a Scillonian, and feel very strongly, that there is a way of keeping the growth down, without, the need of so many cattle etc, and electric fencing. There has to be a happy medium. It was never like that when I was growing up, so why does it have to be like that now? I think it is time that the wildlife Trust listened to what ' the people of Scilly 'say.Flag

I am visitng the islands this summer in my 60th year as I have regularly since the age of 7 and half expect the trip to be ruined as i try and navigate the electrified headlands.#Shame on you !Flag
