public woods and the law

[Kenty]

Its quite simple, if you don't own it, don't take it.

[oldwoodcutter]

If you take 'dead' wood or any other kind of wood out of forestry commission woodland,and a ranger challenges you,they will be down on you like a ton of wet concrete.

the forrestry commission does not own the woodland, they only manage it for the owners.......the public

Great, I'm off to get me some green saw logs......

The wood is owned by the Forestry Commissioners - section 3(1)(b) Forestry Act 1967.

 

Forestry Act 1967

all land is owned by someone even if its public its managed by someone,

common land is for use of commoners who have it in there deads that they can use the common land for grazing etc

angling and the law. if you fish from a public bridge. and your line is in the water you can be prosecuted if found with weed or fish in your possession.

if your line snags the weed the weed id part of the river bed which is the property of the riparian owner, same for fish belong to the owner so by taken them even from a public place you are committing a offence of stealing.

Not quite, in order to gain a prospection the other side will need to demonstrate that you intended to permanently deprive the owner of the property if you were chucking the fish back all they have is a civil offence of trespass.

If the tree has snapped due to fungus the wood will have little heat when burnt.

agree on what you say. if they saw you just as you where landing fish and you put it back then agree but if said fish is dead next to you then commited a offence as for weed they can do you for damage to private property as weed belongs to riperian owner. yet to see it happen.
