I'm not usually one for these things but thought I should bring your attention to it:
Fight for our forests petition
Put simply the SNP proposes leasing off a quarter of Scotland's most profitable forests. This is bad news for biking as the Forestry Commission will have less income and therefore less money for projects such as the 7stanes and trail maintenance. Also there is at the moment no guarantee that the private companies will have to maintain access to any trails they inherit as far as I can see.
Glentress, Innerleithen and a load of other forests with trails are on the list considered for leasing so it is relevant.
