Several VB readers have been in touch asking us to share information about a new petition.
Non-political action-group, 38 Degrees, are currently appealing to the public to sign a petition against what they say, will be a massive sell-off of national forests by the Government.
Here’s what the petition says,
The government is planning a massive sell off of our national forests. This could mean our ancient woodlands are chopped down and ruined. Wildlife, walkers and cyclists would have to make way for Centre Parcs style holiday villages, golf courses and commercial logging.
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.
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.
Find out more about 38 Degrees by visiting their website, which is where you can sign the Petition.
