new camp at Pressmennan Wood - people needed

MAD AXEMAN

People are needed desperately to help save the remains of ancient forest - Pressmennan Wood, near Edinburgh - from the chop. SchNEWS has learnt that this ancient forest - around 13,000 years old - is being logged again, "for the excellent reason of equipping stately homes with nice-looking timber." The activists say that a single woodcutter has a contract to cut down 369 trees - he's already felled 160 but the rest can still be saved.

A camp has been set up and more people are needed.
