Woods panel report
A CHALLENGE has been issued in a bid to protect the Forest of Dean.
Ahead of the final report of the Independent Panel on Forestry expected on Wednesday next week, the charity Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) has issued a challenge to the panel to be ambitious in its recommendations, and to the Government to protect England's woods and forests.
Ben Stafford, CPRE's head of campaigns, said: "Last year hundreds of thousands of people showed that we are fiercely proud and protective of our precious woodlands. Proposals to sell off parts of these treasured landscapes, with the threat that public access and proper woodland management could be lost, were met with dismay and outrage.
"Ahead of their recommendations, we want the panel to remember that profound public anger and ensure they set out a clear vision for both strong protection and future extension of England's woods and forests."
