Community Woodlands

We have a dedicated Community Woodlands Officer who works closely with a number of land managment organisations such as Forestry Commission, National Trust, The Woodland Trust and Natural England to develop this programme. Projects in this theme maintain woodlands for benefit of the local environment and local communities.

Trees have been at the heart of man’s relationship with the land over many centuries, both in the home and for industry. But we now understand the key role that woodlands play in maintaining a healthy environment and creating wildlife habitats. We can see this at a local level where trees help to reduce soil erosion, and also at a global level where woodlands are crucial in tackling climate change.
