The 38 Degrees team have a meeting with government’s forests panel this Friday to find out our priorities for protecting Britain’s forests in the future. Their members have spent the last few weeks attending get-togethers and sharing our ideas for the future of our forests and have worked out their three top demands from 38 Degrees members to the forests panel:
Keeping our forests in public ownership
Protecting the incredible variety of animals and plants that live in our forests
Making sure as many people as possible are able to enjoy our forests, including those who don’t have access to a car, or use a wheelchair, as well as those who want to ride horses or bikes
If you’re on board with these priorities, click to show your support by signing their new petition now – and it will be presented it to the panel on Friday:

38° Campaign on Forest Sell off Following the campaign a few months ago the government abandoned their forest sell-off plans. After this they said they’d set up an “independent panel of experts” to help decide the future of our woodlands. Can you take 2 minutes to answer the panel’s questions now? The questions the panel are asking aren’t complicated and you don’t need to be an expert to answer them. Anybody who cares about our forests can have a say. They’re asking things like, “what do forests and woods mean to you?” There are five questions all together. But if you’ve only got time to answer one or two, that’s fine as well. https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/forests-panel
