About us
We create wildlife-rich woods and plant native trees to benefit nature, climate and people now and in the future.
About us
We fight to protect woods and trees, preventing the loss of irreplaceable habitat, nature and carbon stores for a healthier future for everyone.
About us
We bring damaged ancient woods back to life, restoring irreplaceable ecosystems to improve landscape resilience so that nature and people can thrive.
About us
We care for over 1,000 woods, keeping them open for you to explore and enjoy. We want to inspire a love for woods and trees for generations to come.
Planted
We have planted millions of trees since we began in 1972.
Saved
We have saved thousands of woods with your help since 1999.
Revived
We are bringing thousands of hectares of ancient woodland back to life.
We can't achieve our vision without you.
We want to make sure everybody in the UK has the chance to plant a tree. So we’re giving away hundreds of thousands of trees to schools and communities.
