Not really.. public rights of way will have to be retained and maintained.

And you really believe that will happen in the long run? Probably in the "heritage forests", but in the small, commercial plots?

Heritage/ancient woodlands are not, as far as I know, up for privatisation and yes, I do reckon public rights of way will be retained.

Takes a lot of time, effort and money to change stuff like that.

A lot of the FC areas considered here are recoverable ancient forest areas. Checkout the woodland trust information.
