Our take
The UK is more tree-poor than many realise, with forest and woodland covering only around 13.5% of the country's land area. That means large areas once covered by native woods have been lost or degraded over centuries, reducing habitat for wildlife, weakening carbon storage, and limiting the natural benefits trees give people.
The Woodland Trust is a charity on a mission to protect, restore, and create native woods and trees across the UK. Since its founding it's planted more than 68.5M trees and cares for over 1,000 woods around the country. Through planting native trees, restoring damaged woodlands, protecting ancient woods from destruction, and encouraging nature-rich habitats, the Trust has become the largest woodland conservation in the country and hopes to fight climate change and give people access to nature for generations to come.
To do so, its recently been growing its collaborative work with larger partners. The Trust renewed a partnership with Lincolnshire County Council and together they're set to plant nearly 300,000 more trees, along with new hedgerows and expanded woodland projects that will help bring more nature back into local towns and countryside. This kind of effort makes a huge difference, helping communities across the country feel the benefits of greener, healthier places to live.
