Aylesbury Vale, UK. Environmental Activist Swampy who came to fame in the 1990s for his tunneling, is currently high up in the beech trees in Jones Hill Wood that are due to be felled by HS2 as construction work commences on the new High Speed Rail link from London to Birmingham. HS2 took possession of part of the ancient woodlands on Thursday last week and the NET Enforcement Agents together with Thames Valley Police started evicting some of the tree protectors then. There is much local and nationwide objection to HS2 on environmental grounds. The beautiful woodlands are said to have inspired Roald Dahl to write the children's novel The Fantastic Mr Fox.
