forestry commission

[henric]

has anyone heard about the forestry commission's plans to lease management rights of argyll forest district. The Scottish Goverment are planning to change the law in the spring to allow this to happen. This may have serious implications for everyone living and working in the area, especially anyone who uses the forest or works in it, and since the area is vastly covered in forest this will be a large proportion of the population in argyll.
here is a link to get more info about it, what do folks think ? i personnally am very sceptical about how good this move will be.

This topic is getting more attention now, henric. I share your concerns too.

A couple of petitions now exist where you can make your views known:
