Standing up for trees image

We are the Woodland Trust – the UK's largest woodland conservation charity.

We've over 500,000 members and supporters and more than 1,000 sites, covering over 26,000 hectares, all over the UK.

We protect and campaign on behalf of this country’s woods, plant trees, and restore ancient woodland for the benefit of wildlife and people.

Our vision is a UK rich in native woods and trees, for people and wildlife.

But we can't achieve our vision alone. 

We need your help too. Join us on our journey.
