Protecting your local woods and trees from development

A total of 1043 UK woods have been under threat from development over the last ten years. With just 2% of the UK's land area covered in ancient woodland, we can not afford to lose anymore.

 Our response to the National Planning Policy Framework

"Ancient Woodland remains significantly threatened under this new framework,"  said Woodland Trust Chief Executive Sue Holden.
