Conservationist and Verderer

‘The Forest is extraordinary because it has survived – despite everything. We are the last bastion of the once commonplace.

‘The people whose everyday lives create the Forest are at risk of being excluded by high house prices, high land prices and low rewards for what they do. Then there is the sheer pressure of numbers of people who want to enjoy the Forest but are unwilling to adjust their demands to respect its sensitivities. We are in danger of strangling the economy which is the lifeblood of the Forest whilst simultaneously loving the place to death.’
