Below is a sample letter that you may find useful:


Dear Sir

I am writing to register my strong objection to the demands of the Countryside Council for Wales for massive tree felling to take place in Newborough Forest on the Isle of Anglesey. These demands will remove hundreds of hectares of mature woodland in order to return the site to open and mobile sand dunes.

Anglesey already has the lowest woodland cover of any county in Wales, and I believe that these demands do not take into account either the recreational value of the site or its importance for wildlife. Newborough forest is a unique area of outstanding natural beauty and, in addition, contains the second largest Raven roost in Western Europe (some 2000 birds), and it is a refuge for the protected native Red Squirrel.

The proposals should be shelved permanently so that Newborough Forest, held in trust for the people by the Welsh Assembly, can be enjoyed by future generations.


Yours sincerely
