Letter: Ant attack
However, there is another, even rarer, species of ant - the narrow-headed wood ant - that has the misfortune of locating its most northerly colony within a native pinewood in the Cairngorms National Park. Misfortune because the park authority, careless of its biodiversity duties, has allocated much of this pinewood, near Carrbridge, to a large housing estate in its recent local plan, contrary to the recommendations of an inquiry.
