Our Forest
is a greenprint
for the future
The National Forest is a living, breathing demonstration of sustainability in action. We’re creating a forest environment that is high in nature, promotes positive wellbeing and is home to a low carbon economy. Across our 200 square miles, we are creating real change, in a real place for generations to come.
33% Forest cover
Accessible natural greenspace for all
Net zero for carbon
Our strategy is focused on five main themes of creating, managing, inspiring, engaging and growing.
It's a greenprint
for the Nation
Our vision is for the National Forest to act as a model of sustainability that can be replicated, extended and inspire others. This is happening through our national research and development, working with partners to connect and expand woodlands using the Midlands Forest Network and the creation of a new Forest for the Nation with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

We can’t grow this vision for the Forest on our own. But with the commitment, generosity and support of people like you we can make it happen.
You won’t just be supporting us, you’ll become part of our team, growing the future together.
Any donation, big or small, helps towards growing a greener, healthier and more sustainable future.
You can help grow a greener future. From joining a planting event to dedicating a tree, there are many ways to help grow the Forest.
If you are a landowner, business or community group in the Forest, we have grants and advice available to those who want to help continue to transform this place.
