TitleMr Wyatt’s opinion regarding the enclosure of Needwood Forest.
LevelItem
Datend. [1800]
Description[Wyatt cites the tendency of forest areas to attract undesirable elements, such as poachers and thieves of all kinds, and the poor quality grazing that the forest currently provides, so poor that most commoners prefer not to use it as their animals do not thrive. The land is however fertile and turned over to grain production he estimates that it could produce at least £4 per acre, amounting to the sum of £36,000 annually.]
