Last week the Forestry Commission, which owns and runs 18% of England's woods, announced significant changes after its budget was cut. These cuts could impact on the public services it currently provides. It is therefore important that the BMC help shape any future recommendations for our forests, by giving the Independent Panel on Forestry our views on why we value forests and woods so much.
In order to advise Government on the future of forests and woods in England, the Independent Panel on Forestry wants to understand the widest range of views, interests and expertise. Now is the first opportunity to get involved, share your views and make your voice heard to the panel.
