The Heart of England Forest

Who we are

The Heart of England Forest is helping to reverse centuries of woodland decline by creating and conserving a huge broadleaf forest in the heart of the country, a place of enduring natural beauty, protected and secured for generations to come.

We take our mission very seriously; it has never been more important to invest in our natural environment. Our work creating biodiverse habitats that support not just wildlife, but human life, will give us all the best chance of adapting to our changing climate. 

The Forest is more than just trees…
It is home to an incredible array of habitats, including new tree planting, mature and ancient woodland, grassland, heathland, farmland, and wetland, that enable animals, plants, and people to thrive. As the Forest grows, eventually covering 30,000 acres (an area the size of 17,000 football pitches), so too will the benefits to both our health and that of the natural world.
