Categorised under the topic of Forestry.

That this House notes the importance of the Sawrey Ground Forest in Cumbria to the local population and the thousands of visitors who use it for walks each year; further notes with concern the proposals put forward by the Forestry Commission to sell 39 hectares of the forest to meet a national cash shortfall; and calls on the Government to ensure that the forest is not sold off and that access to the forest is safeguarded so that locals and visitors may continue to enjoy this historic piece of woodland.

This motion has been signed by a total of 4 MPs.
