About us

Connecting and protecting Welsh woods and trees

With support from Players of People’s Postcode Lottery, the Dyfi to Dwyryd project aims to expand and connect more trees and wooded habitats on a landscape scale – to improve biodiversity in mid Wales and beyond.

Did you know?

Wales is one of the least-wooded countries in Europe. Woodlands make up just 14% of the landscape and less than half of these are native, or broadleaved.

Find a wood

We own over 100 woods in Wales covering an area of 2,897 hectares (7,155 acres). Almost all of these are available for the public to visit at any time and for free.

To discover these woods, visit our woodland search page.
