Please support the people of Creetown and Carsluith in Dumfries and Galloway to oppose the impending industrial woodland proposal around Barholm. This land was quietly purchased by a London and EU based venture capitalist investment business.

@DarkGalloway@mastodon.scot And this is precisely why every time you hear of land near you potentially coming up for sale, you should pester your community council to apply for a pre-emptive right to buy. Raising money to pay for it would be problematic -- the Scottish Land Fund does not have nearly enough -- but it isn't impossible, as many communities have found. #LandRefom https://www.gov.scot/publications/community-rights-to-buy-overview/pages/community-right-to-buy-the-part-2-right-to-buy/
