Protect Our Woodland
Campaigning to save ancient landscapes.
Formed in January 2002 by a group of Worthing residents concerned over plans that would destroy a unique local area, including ancient woodland. The Protect Our Woodland campaign has captured the mood of environmentalists up and down the country.
Faced with the prospect of a Greenfield site on the outskirts of Worthing being turned into a concrete jungle by road building, a new Tesco Hypermarket and a housing / commercial development, the locals decided on non violent direct action after the democratic process failed them. A treetop vigil started on Sunday, 28 May 2006 and despite a High Court order to quit, campaigners are still high up in the trees and other places.
It's a sad fact that Ancient Woodland - some with origins in the last ice age - is being lost at an alarming rate, whether through new housing developments or road building, this wanton destruction of what has been dubbed 'Britain's rain forest' must stop. How can we tell Brazil etc to stop tree felling when we're doing the same?.
