So here we go again. Not only are us small businesses waiting for bristol city council to charge us permits for walking dogs. But now the woodland trust want £500 a year to walk in the woods tok !??

Whats going on, do they think clients pay us in gold ?? We are in minimum wage as it is, now this.

This will affect places like Avon gorge, bishops knoll and places along rhe portway.

Please support us by sending a letter or email to ceo.pf woodland Trust.

Letter to CEO of Woodland Trust regarding introduction of licenses
Good morning everyone. Someone posted yesterday regarding the introduction of licenses (£500 per site) for commercial dog walkers for selected Woodland Trust land. To be clear, I don’t actually use Trust land to walk, however I do feel quite strongly for other walkers who do. I personally feel like there’s not enough clarity around the licenses (you have to email them to find out which woods are included for example), so I have drafted and sent an email to the CEO Darren Moorcroft (I found his email by googling). If you wish to register your concerns as well (a collective response might have more impact) I’m more than happy if you want to use my email as a template.

Subject: Concerns regarding the new commercial dog walking license scheme

Dear Mr Moorcroft

I’m writing as a professional dog walker and small business owner to express concern about the newly announced requirement for commercial dog walkers to purchase a £500 licence, per site, to operate on Woodland Trust land.

Before anything else, I want to acknowledge the vital work the Woodland Trust does. Protecting and restoring woodland habitats is something all of us in the dog walking community fully support. We value access to safe, natural spaces and understand the need to manage them responsibly.

However, several aspects of the new licensing model are causing understandable concern among small, independent walkers:

1. Prohibitive cost: £500 per site places the scheme far beyond the reach of most small businesses, especially those operating responsibly at a local level. Many dog walkers earn modest incomes and already carry significant overheads including insurance, vehicl

Join me on my journey to make a difference in the lives of animals in need, who first hand recieve help from this brlliant little known avmbout charity and in partnership with Streetvets.

On November 10th, 2024, I will be embarking on an epic challenge - trekking 100km across the Sahara for the Sahara Trek event. The challenge? Iv got to complete it in a week!

I am doing this to raise vital funds for International Aid for the Protection and Welfare of Animals (IAPWA), a charity that provides lifelines to thousands of animals through their projects and support programmes worldwide. Check them out on social media and their website page, just brilliant.

Animals are often forgotten and left to suffer in silence. But with your help, we can change that.

Every donation counts towards our target of £1,000, which will make a significant difference in the lives of these animals.

Please visit www.iapwa.org and www.facebook.com/iapwa to learn more about the incredible work this charity does.

Your support means everything to me and these animals in need, and Im sure in true Emma/ Scallywags Nanny fashion, I will have some story's for you along the way, however, I will try not to rescue and bring home any camels.
