I’m no Tree Hugger but… Save our Forests

Autumn in Paris

The government is planning a massive sell off of our national forests. They could be auctioned and fenced off, run down, logged or turned into golf courses and holiday villages.

We can’t let that happen. We need to stop these plans. National treasures like the The Forest of Dean, Sherwood Forest and The New Forest could be sold off. Once they are gone, they will be lost forever. The sell-off of Forestry Commission land in the Lake District would be a disaster for environmental protection and for public access by walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders.

A huge petition will force the government to rethink its plans. If we can prove how strongly the public are against this, they will have to back down. Please sign the petition now. It takes less than a minute.

And why not buy this cool t-shirt from howies to show your support too.
