The Independent Panel on Forestry’s call for views closed on 31 July. They are delighted with the response which saw more than 40,000 views submitted.

The Panel would like to thank everyone who took the time to submit their views. The Panel also extends special thanks to 38 Degrees and all the other organisations who helped gather support for the call for views.

All of the responses are in the process of being logged, ready to be considered and an overview of what people have said will be fed into the Panel’s progress report which is due in November.
