Arthur's Wood

The camp at Arthur's Wood, is expecting eviction proceedings to begin imminently. The wood is to be felled as it will obscure Manchester Airport's radar operations when they build Runway Two. On the 18th September the National Trust, who own the wood, signed an agreement with the airport allowing them to carry out tree felling. The wood was given to the trust with the understanding that it was guaranteed to be in safe hands, but this agreement proves yet again that they are not fit to act as guardians of the land.

Numbers are gradually increasing on site, although more support is needed. A protracted eviction could secure time for a successful appeal.

NB. The campaign has been 100% successful in its original aim in preventing tree work during the bird nesting season. Contact 0161 988 1888 but please be subtle.
