Despite meeting ALL the official requirements and, the Wye Valley being AONB, the Forest of Dean has still not yet been given this crucial status that it deserves.
The forest is home to a wealth of fungi, flora, fauna and wildlife, including rare species such as the Peregrine Falcon.
The Royal Forest of Dean has won many awards including being recently voted 'Britain’s Favourite Forest'.
We strongly urge you to support this petition to ensure the protection of this unique and ancient area.
