WARRINGTON'S nature lovers, dog walkers and joggers are being asked for their views about local woodlands as part of a new campaign from The Mersey Forest. The "Love your woods?" project is collecting people's thoughts about their local woods in the run-up to Christmas, with the best comment set to win a free Christmas tree and the chance to take a "Land Rover safari" tour of Delamere Forest.
Deadline for views is December 1.
Paul Nolan, director of The Mersey Forest, said: "Whether you have a particular favourite woodland, have seen your local greenery change over the years, or simply want to share your thoughts on why woods are important to you, it would be great to hear your views. Your comments will help us as we update The Mersey Forest's long-term plan to plant millions of trees to make Merseyside and Cheshire an even better place to live and work."
To read people's comments so far and to have a say, visit www.merseyforest.org.uk/views
Views can also be sent in by post - call The Mersey Forest Offices on 01925 816217 for the address.

It’s good to see this initiative from the Mersey Forest, although I have only been a member of the steering group for a few months I am very impressed with the work that they are doing.
I took part in their recent Running Rings ‘Olympic’ themed event at Risley Moss which was great fun and I have seen the work they do at sites like Delamere.
I would urge everyone to take part in this initiative and have your say as well as find out all the other things that we are doing.
It also ties in with the work that Warrington Nature Conservation Forum and Warrington Borough Council Climate Change Team are doing to play a small but significant part in carbon reduction.
I am also involved and impressed with what they are both doing.
