[Talk-GB] Large swaths of "heath" in Wales?

[Brian Prangle]

Hi everyone

Looks like a challenge.  We have discussed this before and there were lots
of very thoughtful and knowledgeable opinions, but no decisions on any
actions. I kind of got the consensus that many were uncomfortable with the
spread of heathland landuse data but we never decided to do anything about
it.  It would be great in my opinion if we moved on as a community and
actually decided to act on our discussions.

Regards

Brian
