If you go down to the woods today.

A big row has broken out between walking groups, ASPAS  (Assoc. pour le protection de animaux sauvage) and other Forest users,  mushroom foragers, dog walkers, etc. and why is this ? At the Foret de Gresigne signs were put up by the chasse saying it was interdit to enter the Forest until after the 15th of October. Each year they have a cull of cerfs at this time but the notices were erected with out permission and incensed other  forest users. The chasse have had to back down and take down the signs much to 'la plus grande satisfaction de' Pierre Athanaze, President of the ASPAS. If you were a teddy bear in these woods I would forget the picnic.
