Our forests belong to the nation, not to the coalition government

If forest sales raised £250 million, impact on 
national debt would be equivalent to paying £42 off £150,000 mortgage.

David Cameron 'listening to all the arguments' on forest sell-off
Prime minister appears to suggest that sale of 
woodlands is not a foregone conclusion as 
documents show coalition could lose money

The Government wants to sell all publicly owned forests. This can’t happen.
Our ancient woodlands and forests are our natural 
heritage. Around two-thirds of our woodland is 
privately owned already. The remaining 33% is 
publicly owned, managed by the Forestry 
Commission (FC) and other public agencies, including local authorities.
The Government have proposed a Bill that will 
allow them to sell all publicly owned forests – 
the Public Bodies Bill clauses 17 and 18. Buyers 
could include foreign energy companies, private 
organisations, charitable trusts, companies and 
individuals for shooting rights, leisure developers and many more.
We believe our trees, woods and forests are too 
important to be sold to the highest bidder.
We believe our woodlands and forests play an 
essential part in the biodiversity of our country.
We believe our forests are our natural heritage 
and it is in the public’s greatest interest for 
them to remain under public ownership.
What ever happens – we would rather our forests 
remained as publicly owned lands so that WE can 
decide how they could be managed and not a 
foreign energy company, a rich landowner 
expanding territory, a leisure developer for shooting rights or holiday parks.
