When we let in the conservatives this was bound to happen, their morals are those of an alley cat and they'd sell their mothers for a quick buck! But we also have large semi-bureaucratic bodies ready to protect the land, RSPB, National Trust, even dare I say it EH, maybe Natural England unless it gets culled. They got beaten over the poll tax, its up to us the public to stand in their way and call the greedy ******** to account. It will happen Sea Cat we just need people to stand behind the unions and take to the woods to protect the trees...

edit; Though having said that, read the following in the Telegraph,
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/countryside/8082756/Ministers-plan-huge-sell-off-of-Britains-forests.html

RSPB says "We would be quite relaxed about the idea of some sales, but would be unrelaxed if the wrong bits were up for sale like the New Forest, Forest of Dean or Sherwood Forest, which are incredibly valuable for wildlife and shouldn't be sold off.

"We would look very carefully at what was planned. It would be possible to sell 50 per cent if it was done in the right way."

National Trust!

"We will take a fairly pragmatic approach and look at each sale on a case by case basis, making sure the land goes to the appropriate organisations for the right sites, making sure the public can continue to enjoy the land."

You can't trust anyone nowadays....
