If you have been following the situation as regards the Tory plot to sell off Britain's forests then you'll probably already be aware that they have, as I am writing this blog (Thursday), made a u-turn on the policy. After only a few days of a committee being set up to further examine the proposals the government has decided to abandon its plans.
There are a number of reasons they may have taken this decision but publicly at least their main reason is the overwhelming numbers of people that have written to their MPs and the large amount of signatures on petitions (the 38 degrees petition had more than half a million signatories for example). The fact that the government have caved in to public pressure is certainly good news for Britain's wildlife and I think that anyone who took my advice and wrote to their MPs deserves a pat on the back. Well done us.
