Time for the council to take a look at the Raincliffe Woods so called 'Community Enterprise', where the value of trees and anything else is only considered in financial terms.
A complete contradiction to what should be cherished and protected!

The authority wants a more consistent approach to trees and woodlands with more protections.

Potentially violating the Wildlife & Countryside act 1981 ...
To protect nesting birds these 'forestry operations' should not be conducted after March by any responsible organisation!
AND - How can a so-called 'charity' that receives thoudands in grants, be allowed to plunder what it should be protecting in a 'community woodland' to simply make a few more measly quid?
Still taking out the best trees including fine mature Beech Trees and still stripping out the staple Larch Trees and replacing them with NOTHING.
This is definately not 'SUSTAINABLE' custodianship.

Is there no limit to the damage this rotten government is capable of?
Protect our lovely National Parks green spaces and Mother Nature in our once green and pleasant land.

Stop this obsession with Woodland destruction, you're not gong to wind the evolutionary clock back thousands of years!
Raincliffe Woods so called 'community' rip off please note -
The Larch trees planted few decades ago in this wonderful woodland habitat. How misguided to fell our Larch and so-called 'none-native' tree species when a 'mixed woodland' is the best protetction for nature in the Twenty First century!
Never mind b 'enterprise' because you won't win, instead 'Put Nature first'!

The colony lives in woodland which is managed to protect the rare red squirrels.
