Ownership Of Public Forests

EDM number 1384 in 2010-12, proposed by Alan Meale on 01/02/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Forestry.

That this House is alarmed by the Government's decision to enter into a period of public consultation on the future of the Public Forest Estate of approximately 258,000 hectares of Government-owned land in England currentlymanaged by the Forestry Commission; notes that contained within the Ministerial Statement was the view that the present status quo is not an option and the main purpose of the consultation is to effect a shift in ownership of our national forest resources into privateownership; and reminds the Governmentthat the estate was started at a time of national crisis, timber shortages and woodland depletion, a situation still current and relevant in today's bigger picture of increased populations, urbanisation and theserious effects of climate change.
