Save the Forest of Dean from sell-off (Announce)

I spent a great deal of my childhood among the trees of The forest of Dean and still feel such a rush of memories whenever I visit Lydbrook. My Mother who is 94 years old was born in Lydbrook and we are always living in the past as we discuss her family and their lives in the Forest. My daughter followed in my footsteps and loves to take her family camping in the forest and she will be very upset if the plans are carried out. Leave the Forest alone and make it available for the many generations to come, to use for whatever pastime is their pleasure. If it is sold off the whole area will change forever and so will the lives of all those who still live in the area and are so proud of their roots.
