Wonder if The Glade stage moving out of the trees is related to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if The Glade stage moving out of the trees is related to it? It’s a fungal disease that’s been spreading over the last few years … once it gets in there is pretty much nothing that can be done apart from clear and replant new species … that movement of the glade I’d think is definately related to it … they can’t clear it all at once because it’s a massive undertaking so will have removed the initially dangerous stuff Edited May 6, 2022 by crazyfool1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replanting will be needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replanting will be needed. Not my area of expertise so happy to be corrected but I do have a little experience in working with wood. The trees will have to be completely cleared and all traces of disease gone before replanting can begin. A hardwood tree like Ash will take 10-20 years before they begin to be at a similar size to the trees in the glade. Definitely something worth doing for the next generation of Glasto goers.

We got a load of trees from them through work. Planted some at our sites around the North West, then a few of us got to do a volunteering day with these guys https://twitter.com/HardknottForest planting the rest, as well as some clearing. A very rare satisfying day 'at' work. Ash Dieback has hit some places around here pretty bad. Some really lovely spots look a bit like a bombsite now.

They've been doing tons of removal of trees in North Somerset last few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got loads at the school too - students were able to take them home and plant them anywhere they wanted. I put an oak in our front garden and my grandma had one too. Can't wait to see them mature.

kalifire Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 I'm curious about what those large white marquees are used for, to the right of the Pyramid. Is that where artists hang out before their sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the overhead, there's a direct path into the marquees from the Tour Bus Parking area, and then a covered walkway into the Pyramid Stage itself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
