Rescue Hoad's Wood πππ Kent Wildlife Trust CPRE Kent CLA South East RSPB England Chris Packham Paul Powlesland Yvette Austin So pleased to hear this & thank you for all your work to protect your woodland. I am determined to do more on this issue. Delighted that HoL Environment Committee will be doing a short enquiry on large scale fly tipping in September. I am looking for ideas to improve legislation.

Visited #HoadsWood to witness the clean-up. Heartbreaking to see dying trees and the stump of an ancient oak, fatally poisoned after its roots absorbed toxic pollutants. Those responsible must face justice. Stronger penalties are urgently needed Environment Agency Rescue Hoad's Wood πππ
