The Woodland Trust's chief executive is Sue Holden.
Sue joined the Woodland Trust as chief executive in February 2005. After graduating from Cambridge University with a geography degree, she worked for Shell International and Shell UK, before deciding to change careers to develop her interest in environmental issues. Sue spent eight years with the National Trust, latterly as Business Administration Director, prior to joining the Woodland Trust.
Sue has been a member and supporter of the Woodland Trust for many years and had said that being the organisation’s chief executive would be her dream job, and happily it is! She lives in Lincolnshire and her interests include hillwalking, sea kayaking, windsurfing, gardening and, not surprisingly, tree planting.
