The site was rough in nature and had a diverse range of flora and forna with loads of wildlife too, from snakes to rabbits and deer.
The first thing the Wildlife trust did was came in and chopped down loads of blackthorn trees there by removing habbitat.
As a wildlife sanctuary it was doing very well with little or no human interference with walkers naturally keeping paths open - but now it has been made too clinical as fencing stop free passage of foxes deer & badgers.

I walk my dog twice a day at hills and dales . The wide open space use to give everyone lots of space with more than three routes to choose from . Many evenings in the summer months groups of scouts and guides would be exploring the site . A rare thing these days . Children need to get in touch with the world around them and learn about nature . I feel the open spaces of whitestones and the rest of hill and dales have them this . The fencing has stopped this , now they can only follow the route decided by the trust . We need the young to know about the world around them ,they are the future .

This has all been lost due to poor consultation and management.
