Following the CPRE's challenge to the Independent Panel on Forestry to "be ambitions", the Panel issued its report today. In response, Ben Stafford, CPRE’s Head of Campaigns says:
“We congratulate the Panel for setting out an ambitious vision for our woodlands. We particularly welcome its call to increase England’s woodland cover by 50 percent by 2060. Initiating a competition on where to create a second National Forest for England, following in the footsteps of the successful Midlands National Forest, would be one good way to start working towards this ambition.
