Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire, UK. 5th March, 2021. HS2 have destroyed part of the woodland at the earthwork known as Grim's Ditch which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Badgers were living in the woodland but have been evicted by HS2 and their setts have been wired over by HS2 and filled in. HS2 have put plugs of poison into the tree stumps to kill them and the area once thriving with wildlife, now resembles a war zone. The construction of the highly controversial and over budget High Speed Rail from London to Birmingham puts 108 ancient woodlands, at risk. Credit: Maureen McLean/Alamy
