If they sell off the sterile monocultural Sitka Spruce plantations that blight miles of Scottish upland regions, then I'm all in favour.
Nothing lives with them, they block out the light, and turn the ground acidic due to the amount of needles that build up underneath them.
As there is no law of trespass, unless criminal damge is caused in the course of accessing the land, then we will still be able to enjoy said woodlands, no matter who owns them.
Here is some balancing information.
