England's community forests

For nearly 30 years, England’s Community Forests have been working with communities, landowners and businesses to transform landscapes and communities in and around our largest towns and cities.

England’s Community Forests provide free advice and support to landowners and land managers in each forest area to plan, fund, and plant new woodlands. Local experts are available to support woodland creation projects of all sizes in both rural and urban areas.

These 15 organisations (supported by partners from the public, private and voluntary sectors, and of course, local communities themselves) bring trees and people together to create healthy, inspiring, resilient places for humans and nature to live, side by side.

Through innovation and a long-term commitment to the areas in which they work, the community forests have empowered communities to transform their local landscapes, helping them to adapt to the effects of climate change and contribute to the mitigation of these effects. They are working to ensure that trees and woodlands are at the very heart of our urban landscapes.

England’s Community Forests provide free advice and support to landowners and land managers in each forest area to plan, fund, and plant new woodland. Local experts are available to support woodland creation projects of all sizes in both rural and urban settings.
