Stars of film and television, writers, gardeners, musicians and sports stars, whatever their background trees and woods are important to all our famous friends and they do a terrific amount to help us care for and protect ancient woodland.

Clive Anderson, broadcaster and president of the Woodland Trust
"People tend to get interested in trees either as a child or at the end of their life. It?s a magical thing, to plant a tree thinking when I grow up I can show this to my kids. We may be not long for this earth so it's nice to leave something behind, a wood or a tree that will stand for a long time. Millions of people will have access to this wood and get benefit from it."

"I am never happier than when I am walking in woodland. How wonderful to think this new forest will offer that opportunity to thousands of people, many of whom will also have the chance to take their children to plant trees; a brilliant experience for any child."

Kim Wilde, singer, garden designer and local resident
"Hertfordshire is really special to me. I love its ancient farmland, woodlands and hedgerows and the idea of England's largest new native forest so close to where I live is just amazing. Green spaces are incredibly important for people's well-being and anything we can do to increase accessible woodland and green space deserves backing all the way."

Eamonn Holmes, Sky News Sunrise presenter
"It's like everything else, You only miss it when its gone. We live such busy lives at such a fast pace in concrete jungles there are few better things to do on a Sunday than walk through a wood. This is no better or worse than other environmental projects but for me this is my project and makes me smile. I hope others feel the way I do."

Sandi Toksvig, broadcaster and writer
"Woods are fabulous places to unwind and let off steam, especially for families, and we definitely need more of them. I recently had a look at an amazing new Woodland Trust Wood in Kent, just 10 years old but already alive with wild flowers and wildlife. Their plans for the land in Hertfordshire are even more ambitious and I can't wait to see the results. I love trees and I think everyone should plant trees if they can. I have my own dream of creating a new wood as a safe haven for wildlife." |
