We’ve been given the heads up from the good folks at Hamsterley Trailblazers about the upcoming consultation on the future of our forests. As most of you reading tis will be aware the consultation is being organised by The independant Panel set up by the government to advise them what to do with the forests.
If like me you care about what happens to the forests that belong to us all please keep reading.
To: All Members of Hamsterley Trailblazers
Further to my previous emails on this subject, the Independent Panel on Forestry is calling for views on the future of the forests. Specifically they have asked 5 questions – please see: http://www.defra.gov.uk/forestrypanel/views/
At the last meeting of Trailblazers this matter was discussed and it was agreed the attached response be sent as our formal response. It is vitally important, however, that each of us sends in our own personal response and stresses the value of forests to cycling and whatever else the forests mean to you. If you have not already done so via another means, please do send in your views to the Panel before 31 July 2011. Please do not leave it to others to fight for the future of our forests!!
Many thanks and kind regards
Vicky Chilcott
Secretary, Hamsterley Trailblazers
