Campaign against discriminatory FC permits for riders

End discrimination against equestrians in Forestry Commission forests

Following our recent campaign on the Forestry Commission's consultation we now need your help to follow it up by lobbying your MP.

We will be distributing postcards, similar to those used in the Forestry Commissison campaign, focusing on gaining MP support.

You can also download a letter version of the postcard here. Please sign it, fill in your details for a reply, and mail it to your MP.

You can find out who your MP is at www.writetothem.com 

If you receive a reply from your MP, we would be interested to know what their response is. You can email us on access@bhs.org.uk or post a copy to the Access and Rights of Way Department, The British Horse Society, Stoneleigh Deer Park, Kenilworth, Warwickshire CV8 2XZ.

NEW: The BHS Send My View Service

If you would like to lobby your MP for our Forestry Permits campaign, but do not wish to be sent a postcard, you are now able to take advantage of our Send My View service.

Follow the instructions below and we will fill out a postcard or campaign letter on your behalf and send it to your MP:

To support our forestry campaign please send an email to the BHS at accesscampaigns@bhs.org.uk with the subject heading ‘Forestry - Send My View’, stating your Name and Address and the name of your Member of Parliament.

We will use the information to fill in your details and send a postcard to your MP on your behalf to lobby support for the campaign, and to keep a record that you have asked us to do so. We will also use the information to compile anonymous statistics.

We would like to keep you informed by email of the progress of the campaign. If you do NOT wish us to do so, please state ‘No Updates’ after your details”

We would also like to inform you if we initiate any other campaigns in the future which we believe you may be interested in supporting. If you do NOT wish us to contact you by email for this purpose, please state ‘No Campaigns’ after your details.

Please do not send 'Send My View' requests by post as we are unable to process these at this time.
