 Dear Supporter,
I’ve just returned from a camping trip to Pembrokeshire to find
our latest appeal, for Brede High Woods, is proving our most popular
ever – thank you to everyone who’s supported it so far.
(But, we need to raise more funds before September, so you can still contribute.)
Unfortunately, there is also depressing news… a planning disaster could be on our doorsteps.
The Government wants to restrict your right to have a say in major
planning decisions like new roads, airports and power stations?
We’re concerned that if these plans go ahead, valuable habitats,
including ancient woodland, will come under threat from major
developments and there will be little anyone can do about
it.
You may have seen adverts placed by the Woodland Trust, and other
organisations concerned about these proposals in the national papers. And,
as part of the Planning Disaster Campaign, a planning application to build an incinerator was placed on St Paul’s Cathedral. More...
Please take action before 17th August to prevent the Government restricting your right to affect these damaging developments.
Kind regards,
Sue Holden, chief executive
PS Did you see the recent Live Earth concert? Continue the campaign by joining I Count

which is planting trees. You can even plant a tree with us. More details below...
