Too important to ignore .....

I am sure that many of you are already aware of the critical situation regarding the WORLD-WIDE BEE POPULATION and it is thought that the situation is probably due to, or exacerbated by, the use of neonicotinoid pesticides.
If you wish to sign a petition to try and get these pesticides banned please go to:

Also, you have probably heard that the government has plans to sell-off of our national forests to private firms. This could mean ancient woodlands are chopped down and destroyed.
Again, there is a petition, SAVE OUR FORESTS, that you may wish to sign at:

  2. Thanks David, let's hope everyone signs it.
    The government are now saying that the forests will not be sold but leased out to private firms and wildlife organisations and that there will still be access to these sites. If logging takes place, health & saftey regulations will prevent access. The effects on wildlife could be a disaster with forests such at Bedgebury and Alice Holt already being ear-marked.
    The 38 degrees website also gives you the means to email your local MP to voice your opinion directly.
