The Big Ideas
We need food, energy, employment, housing, public services and transport. This project is a way to provide all these things (and more) in a sustainable and integrated way, for example in a 90 mile long National Forest along the railway line.
There is huge scope for growing more food hereabouts.
Affordability of housing is a problem everywhere. There are ways this can be addressed.
Expand and diversify the local forest enterprise economy and develop new markets in renewable energy and soil improvement.
