Wilderness Centre Going Strong -RTF
Apok | 11.03.2012 17:11 | Ecology | Education | Social Struggles
The Wilderness Centre Reclamation is stronger than ever, with people from the massively successful Reclaim the Fields Gathering still at the site, helping Protect The Wilderness hold the space down, and defend it from the Council and the friends in the Property Development "world".
Please come up and help us protect this centre, and the surrounding land -which is absolutely beautiful- come down as soon as you can. A wider project is in the process of being born -more news on that soon!
This fight is FAR from over. We're holding strong, Protect the Wilderness has gone all Robin Hood on the Council and their thugs, we've been busy building Treehouses and other defences to help protect the Centre and the surrounding Eco-systems.
Thew whole community of the Forest of Dean wants this centre to remain open, and for Gloucestershire County Council to say "raise £1million, and we'll talk to you", to the people of the Forest, is insulting. This is OUR Centre, OUR Forests and Wild Flower Meadows and OUR education at stake. This sale, combined with that of another rare habitat, Northern United Colliery will set a precedent, opening The Forest of Dean, up for a new wave of Privatisation and so called "Development".
We're are hosting skillshare events daily now, so if you want to learn or share your skills with the community, come on up whenever you can. Treehouse building equipment -rope, wood, chains- needed (especially wood) lets show the Council that they can't just take our land, our education, and our rights.
STAND UP FORESTERS
They're trying to sell OUR Forests piece-by-piece after we scared them off trying to sell it all in one go!
