Thanks again to the extraordinary generosity of its members and of other local people, FROBAW won a temporary High Court Injunction in February – though not before another 40 trees had been destroyed. The High Court injunction to stop the felling is only temporary and there is now an urgent need to make the protection permanent. FROBAW therefore need further funds for the next stage of their legal campaign to preserve this beautiful, irreplaceable ancient woodland in perpetuity. The council has so far rejected FROBAW’s out-of-court settlement offers, which would ensure proportionate risk assessment of the wood and seek to establish the wood as a local nature reserve – something the council had promised in the 2020 agreement.
Please donate to the FROBAW’s legal campaign to save this unique wood for present and future generations. Thank you for any support that you can give.
