grahamjayzee Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Greetings all, I've just received a newsletter from the forestry panel. This came to me as I was one of those that responded to their request for opinion on the future of our forests and woodlands. Here's a link to the full report I have the newsletter, if anyone is interested. One thing that was of note: "In total the Panel received 42,159 responses to the call for views. There were 223 letters, 7063 emails and 34,873 responses received via 38 Degrees. Of the emails received directly, 3841 responses came from individuals via the facility on the Woodland Trust website, and over 262 were based on a template response issue by the Motor Sports Association." It's pretty clear we are a very tiny minority. As such, we need to take great care with how we present ourselves. We cannot afford to alienate other users (no matter how unreasonable they may seem), because there are more of them than us! Well done to all that responded; it's good to know that although a minority, we're a vocal one. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindie Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 In my day job as an arboricultural (tree) consultant I provide reports and information for people who wish to use woodlands and areas around trees. If anyone has a burning need for professional advice relating to trees then let me know. If you can convince the landowner and the Forestry Commision and organisations such as the woodland trust you will still be able to ride at sensitive sites. Trials is very different to MX or enduro and as such trials tyres are far less damaging. Suitable method statements can be easily written to allow you to still use your fave site.
