Today Center Parcs have announced their withdrawal from their project to
dump a huge leisure development into the heart of Worth Forest in Sussex
at Oldhouse Warren, just down the road from Gatwick and South London and
right next door to Crawley.<br><br>
 <br><br>
This is a huge victory for local people and for our regional and national
allies who love our Forests and have worked to publicise the huge value
of Oldhouse Warren and Worth Forest for wildlife and for people's
enjoyment.<br><br>
<br>
It is a victory too for all those people who have worked to survey and
publicise the rare and special wildlife of Oldhouse Warren, despite its
lack of public access.<br><br>
 <br><br>
<b>It is a huge victory for the trespassing tactic. Most of the Forest is
forbidden to public access and only by trespass were our campaigners and
wildlife surveyors able to introduce people to the Forest and survey its
rare and precious wildife.<br>
</b><br>
<b>Â <br>
</b><br>
<b>On September 24th this culminated in our 300 strong mass trespass in Â
 Oldhouse Warren. <br>
</b><br>
 <br><br>
Now our task is to work to restore Worth Forest to its past glory and to
make it a place in which people can be with nature as of right, and in
ways that do not damage its wildlife. Â <br><br>
 <br><br>
Oldhouse Warren and Worth Forest have the same relationship to Crawley
and South London as Epping Forest has to East London. <br><br>
 <br><br>
<b>Yet Worth Forest is largely forbidden and unknown to local people,
whilst Epping Forest is loved by Londoners and cherished in public
ownership by the City of London.<br>
</b><br>
<b>Â <br>
</b><br>
<b>This victory must be a stepping stone to the restoration ofÂ
Worth Forest for nature and for us all<br>
