Study Tour of Romania (Dobrogea, Danube
Delta and Carpathian Mountains) 22 Oct to 1 Nov 2003
Report by Andy Law, CCW
Romania is a fascinating country to visit. Seeing the vast plains, wetlands
and forest still under traditional land-uses feels like going back in time.
It is a country with a very different climate to the UK. The inclusion of
countries such as Romania into the EU is likely to have far reaching
implications for agriculture and nature conservation.
We found ancient trees in many landscapes. Many people still rely on trees
for heating, cooking, fodder and everday items. The ad-hoc pruning of
branches and shredding was widely observed.
