I used to love walking in the countryside, and particularly in the forest, when I was a young boy. Now that my job is to work in forests and look after the trees, I think I'm a very lucky person. I help to clear old trees that have become dangerous orill, and plant , new ones so that the forest stays strong. Everyday I'm out in the sunshine or the rain. It's a good way to spend my working days.

Sometimes I get very annoyed with people who do visit the forest. Most people respect the countryside, but there are a few who don't. Many times I've found old furniture thrown away in the forest, because people didn't want to take it to a special rubbish collection point. On other occasions there have been small fires when people have thrown away cigarettes. And the amount of litter that is left behind after picnics is terrible. These people should realise that their behaviour has consequences-not only legal ones, but for nature, too.

There is a real need for more people to work with trees, like I do. People don't realise that trees need to be looked after. They think they just grow! But people like me play an important role. We see the signs of problems early on. We notice if the numbers of animals or birds are down one year or if certain plants are not growing as they should. We report things like these and experts come to investigate. Unfortunately, more and more problems are occurring. But I am optimistic, Ithink nature will correct things in the end.
