Save Our Forests: England's Forestry Consultation: Time to add your voice

Be the voice for woods and trees
	Its time for your say on the future of Englands forests In February you played a valuable part in helping to bring about a government u-turn around proposed plans for the disposal of our publicly owned forests in England. As the next stages unfold, we are calling for your support again. Following the collapse of the consultation earlier this year, an Independent Panel was set up to look not just at the future of public forests but nearly every aspect of forests in England. I was invited to be a part of that panel and it is now time for the panel to talk directly to you. Please take this opportunity to be a key player in helping shape future recommendations for our forests, by giving the panel a full and rounded understanding of what it is about forests and woods that you value so much and why. There will be different opportunities to get involved over the coming months - if youd like to be kept in touch by the Woodland Trust on developments as they arise please let us know. When the Government halted the consultation the Woodland Trust said that the fight wasn't over for the future of our forests. Please do not stop being the voice for your woods and trees, they need you to speak for them today! With warmest wishes, Sue Holden Chief Executive Woodland Trust
