Some rubbish is harmful to wildlife and even can leach chemicals into the soil. Nature shows amazing rejuvenation at the same time, we will never know what might be down there under layers of leaf litter, maybe something historical but now it belongs to nature&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little Leas is 1.3 acres on the North Eastern end of a larger track of woodland in the South East of England.
