It's Ours

The Independent Panel on Forestry have released their Interim Report.

The Panel, set up by DEFRA following the Government's apparent U-turn on the sell off, or lease off, of Forestry Commission woodlands, will issue their final report and recommendations in Spring 2012.

The Interim report sets out some basic information, highlights where they have visited and some of the things they have found. While it offers no concrete suggestions about what they might recommend, parts of the Interim Report are, at least, mildly positive on a number of issues we have campaigned on.
