Countryfile -Forest of Dean-Sun BBC1-18.00-19.00pm-30/1/2011

Hi there

Countryfile had an article about the ‘Forest of Dean’ tonight

Plans to sell off vast swathes of publicly-owned forest have met with widespread criticism. John Craven reports from the ‘Forest of Dean’ in Gloucestershire where 3,000 protesters gathered recently to make their feelings known. The protesters have since claimed a victory after the Government revealed this week that the Forest of Dean and the New Forest in Hampshire will be exempt from any sell-off.

On Thursday, January 27, the Government unveiled its plans for a sell-off of England's publicly owned forests. Click on the link below to read the plans in detail.
