Hatfield Forest – one of our top sites for
ancient trees is threatened by airport expansion proposals. |
25th
November 2002
The National Trust opposes Government plans for additional runways at
Stansted Airport
|

The National Trust opposes expansion of
Stansted Airport in the light of the adverse effects that one, two or three
new runways would have on the local, regional and national environment
especially internationally important, Hatfield Forest, which is the last
remaining intact medieval hunting forest in Europe.
