- Heineken has been slammed for chopping down a 300-acre orchard - the size of 140 football pitches.
The UK's largest cider maker has felled the huge site - also home to a significant number migratory birds.
Heineken has now 'levelled' Penrhos Orchard, on the Offa's Dyke path in Monmouthshire, Wales.

If they've no use for the apples they might as well grub them up and use the land for something useful. It's a crop like any other. People are making a load of fuss about nothing.
Please explain why they did this?
Simply money.
Farm land is worth more than orchards
❤❤❤.. hey good evening
They don't like nature,,..
Well there are several points of view. A) the orchard is a tree crop which is now 30 years old and there are many tree crops of that age and younger that are felled. B) it is difficult to make a case for a redundant crop use but, it is apparently redundant and the land will apparently be sold and placed for alternative crop use possible of more use to society than making alcohol. C) the loss of habitat for migratory species is a blow but with regard to trees one of the great successes of post war road development is the green lung in the shape of trees that now accompanies the edges of many roads and which has permanently advanced the accommodation of many species.
There are many matters in the rural area which have similar success / failure connotation and people must be alive to them and realise the countryside is a workshop and has been for thousands of years. Nobody wanted canals, railways or modern roads. Nobody wanted wind driven water drainage pumps and these were set in fire in some regions. Farming in all its forms upsets those who wish the matter to be preserved in aspic but it does not stop people avoiding paying the cost of wast disposal by throwing in the countryside for rural dwellers, poor as well as better funded from having to bear the cost of disposal. People come from urban areas and break down fences and stone walls because it is satisfactory for the rural community to bear the cost. Here there is a cost but the land will be returned to productive use with an item the public wish to buy. Farming is not for prettiness but for enough profit to continue next year and the year after making food for the 68 million people on these islands. It it a farmer writing these words? No.
You must work for this disgusting company.
@@Dadopersoblueboots Not at all. I have lived in rural England for a lifetime and have some small understanding of its problems. How long does and average cricket bat willow live? 15 to twenty years before harvest. No complaint there! Trees are a crop! Some are wonderful outsiders in hedgerows but when planted in cultivated mass they are a crop. Do not rush to immediate judgement.
Growers often pull out apple trees and replant. Seen it done a few times round us. Cider apples are no good for anything other than cider.
Big business can do what they want. No come back.
