Heart Of England Forest

At only 13%, Britain has one of the lowest percentages of tree cover in Europe. This has taken a terrible toll on the environment, people and wildlife. The Heart of England Forest is an exciting and ambitious charity. We want to help reverse centuries of woodland decline and create and conserve a magnificent 30,000 acre broadleaf forest for the benefit of the environment, wildlife and people – a place of enduring natural beauty, protected and secured for generations to come. The Forest covers a mosaic of habitats across 7,000 acres of land in Warwickshire and Worcestershire, including 4,450 acres of new woodland and 600 acres of mature and ancient woodland. So far, we have planted 2 million trees. The Heart of England Forest is not only a perfectly positioned lung for the Midlands, but a breath of fresh air for the nation. Providing a safe and permanent habitat for wildlife as well as an escape for people from the urban environments surrounding it. More information can be found at www.heartofenglandforest.org
