Protecting trees and woods
Hedges and Edges, a form of agroforestry, could help tackle the biodiversity and climate crisis if adopted by Wales' future sustainable farming scheme.
About us
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.
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.
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.

61,755 trees will be planted this season throughout Wales, donated by Coed Cadw, the Woodland Trust in Wales. We hope a similar or greater amount will be planted next season.
Our woods provide precious homes for more wildlife than any other terrestrial landscape. Here are some of the species to look out for in Wales.
