The Forestry Commission are getting ready to sell of 18% of Englands forests which I think is an absolute discrace. Instead of selling them, they should be buying more helping us stay green as trees do a lot for reducing our carbon emissions.
What you have to remember is a lot of the Forests/Woods are there to make money by selling timber etc. so we certainly shouldn't be selling the commercial ones as they bring in money!
The Woodland Trust have started a campaign and you can sign their petition by clicking on the link below:
