Our vision is


A UK rich in native woods and trees enjoyed and valued by everyone

We believe
there should be at least twice as much native tree cover in the UK
there should be no further loss of any ancient woodland
every child should have a chance to plant a tree
there should be a wood with open access close to everyone's home
everyone should recognise that trees and woods are an essential part of a healthy environment

Our purpose is


To champion native woods and trees

Our aims are

to enable the creation of more native woods and places rich in trees
to protect native woods, trees and their wildlife for the future
to inspire everyone to enjoy and value woods and trees
