Hands off our Forest (HOOF) is a campaign group formed in 2010 to fight the UK Government's proposed sale of publicly owned land in the Forest of Dean. 'Hands off our Forest' describe themselves as a broad alliance of groups and individuals.〔(Hoof information page )〕 ==Historical context== The Forest of Dean has a long history of struggle between commoners and the Crown, Government and private landowners.〔(The Forester's Forest: A History of Protest, Struggle and Victories )〕 The Dean Forest Timber Act (1808) resulted in large areas of the Forest being enclosed, depriving commoners of their customary privileges, and led directly to the Dean Forest Riots of 1831.〔(www.forestry.gov.uk )〕 In 1981, Parliament passed the Forestry Act (1981), amending an earlier act of 1967 to allow the sale of land managed by the Forestry Commission. Following a sustained campaign, the Forest of Dean was specifically exempted from the act.〔(Forestry Act 1981 )〕 The Public Bodies Bill, introduced to Parliament in October 2010, proposed to amend the Forestry Act 1967, potentially repealing the Forest of Dean exemption.〔(The Forester: New law will enable sale of forestry land )〕
