Explore our goalsWho we are
The Woodland Trust is the UK's largest woodland conservation charity. Our vision is a world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature.
Since 1972, we've been standing up for the UK's native woods and trees. We have 500,000 members and supporters and more than 1,000 woods of our own which are free to visit anytime.
Our head office is in Grantham, Lincolnshire and we have regional offices in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland too plus a network of volunteers all over the UK.
We create havens for wildlife by planting millions of trees every year, campaign for new laws to protect ancient woodland and restore damaged ancient woods so they can breathe again.
Our vision
A world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature.
We can’t achieve it on our own. We need your help.
