Stop the plan to sell off our forests

The news this week that the government plans to sell off publicly owned forests is very alarming.
Red squirrels are already struggling and so much of our threatened wildlife depends on forest and woodland.
It costs each taxpayer just 30p a year to maintain 250,000 hectares of national forestland- hardly a drain on the public purse. Today I joined the 38 Degrees campaign to try to prevent the sell-off.
