Woodlands are among our most precious natural assets, supporting an extraordinary diversity of wildlife while helping to clean our air, store carbon, and shape the landscapes we love. Yet the UK remains one of the least wooded countries in Europe, and the ancient woods we do have are under constant pressure from development, pollution, and the impacts of climate change.
The Woodland Trust is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity, working tirelessly to protect the woods we have, restore those that have been damaged, and create new woodland for future generations. Their mission is ambitious but essential: to expand native tree cover, safeguard ancient woodland, and inspire people to value and care for the natural world on their doorstep.
Across the country, the Trust is restoring habitats, planting millions of trees, and empowering communities to take action. Their work strengthens ecosystems, supports countless species, and helps ensure that thriving woodlands remain part of our shared heritage.
