Details

The government has committed to halting the decline in biodiversity by 2030 and to achieving net zero by 2050. Investing in nature’s recovery, for example through woodland management and creation, plays a crucial role in securing these goals whilst delivering a whole host of other benefits.

Local authorities are perfectly placed to lead by example, working with local communities, landowners and other partners to provide inspiring examples to others through the development of local plans and strategies.

Financial support is available through Forestry Commission grants and via our partners. Our expert advice can help you to create new woodland and make a difference – safeguarding a wildlife-rich legacy for your community and future generations to enjoy.
