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
