As @Groundwork9 constantly stress - if you told farmers grazing rights would be taken away in 50 years, there would be uproar, but we have no problem letting rhodo stop grazing in that same amount of time
As rhododendron spreads through our mountainsides we should be alarmed and not fooled by its beautiful flowers. An excellent piece by Ella McSweeney in the Irish Times Weekend on the destruction it brings to biodiversity in our countryside
