The issue here is that the Government wants to hand over management to non-governmental agencies without giving them the money to take on these extra responsibilities. Plus on the forestry side, the conservation value (that has been built up over the last few years as government forestry realised the value of conservation) will probably be lost if private companies take it over.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-50494046844276272452010-10-25T00:02:48.138+01:002010-10-25T00:02:48.138+01:00Well, perhaps as usual, I have a differing take on...Well, perhaps as usual, I have a differing take on the situation - although from afar!<br /><br />Around here, most government efforts at environmental work could easily be done twice as well, twice as fast, and with half the money by private/non-governmental organizations. I am hoping the current UK "experiment" of perhaps forcing this situation will prove the point and encourage more folks to join in that way rather than through impersonal taxation schemes.RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-21739525601629682022010-10-24T19:44:09.001+01:002010-10-24T19:44:09.001+01:00It is interesting to heara from a "real perso...It is interesting to heara from a "real person" what the effects of these drastic cuts will be in the UK -- of course it has made our news.<br /><br />I fear that the same or similar or worse will happen here in the US soon.

We have had such devastation of what were once government lands here in the States. I hope we can do more than stem the attrition, and actually build up our conservancy again.Dr. Cheryl Carvajalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323455180953109460noreply@blogger.com
