Curious Coincidence of the Squirrel and the Property Developer

The BBC reports the Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT), Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS), and the Scottish Rural Property and Business Association (SRPBA) are involved in the Saving Scotland's Squirrels Project.

It is a curious coincidence that David Fyffe, owner of Fetternear Estate by Kemnay, has been granted a license to fell trees by the very same Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS). This licensed tree-felling is needed to clear land for a proposed housing development - resulting in the destruction of a Red Squirrel habitat .

It is also a curious coincidence that the Scottish Rural Property and Business Association lists as one of its directors one David Fyffe.

One can only wonder at the true nature of the committment the FCS and SRPBA have for saving Red Squirrels - because something smells a bit like squirrel poop to me.
