Heineken said it plans to sell the land in Monmouthshire due to a surplus of apples as the cider market has 'slowed'.
A leading wildlife broadcaster has said he will not be drinking 'any more' Heineken after the company felled thousands of trees in one of its orchards. Chris Packham said the decision to cut the trees on land in Monmouthshire near the border between England and Wales was a 'tragic waste of a fabulous resource'. The BBC reported thousands of apple trees had been cut on 300 acres of land at Penrhos Farm.
'I think that with these big companies, the only way is to boycott them, hit them in the pocket,' he told Sky News. 'Because I do think, I genuinely think, it's tragic what they've done when we could have helped to tackle the biodiversity crisis, the climate emergency, physical and mental health issues.
