Celebrating 50 years of the Woodland Trust

For 50 years we’ve been standing up

For woods, trees and wildlife. 

Protecting. Planting. Restoring. Caring. 

To create a healthier world for us all.  

All this time, you’ve been by our side. 

What we’ve achieved, we’ve achieved together. 

And that’s been monumental… 

Together, we’ve saved more than 1,000 ancient woods

Together, we’ve fought for new laws to give native woods and trees better protection. 

Together, we’ve restored thousands of hectares of damaged ancient woodland. 

Together, we’ve planted 55 million trees. 

And together we’ve secured more than 1,000 woods, where nature thrives, and adventure awaits.  

In 50 years, we’ve carved out our role as the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity. 

We’ve inspired over half a million members, supporters and volunteers to become part of our cause. 

Communities. Schools. Farmers. Businesses. Landowners. Campaigners.

We’ve all united to fight for what’s right.  

In towns and cities, to farms and parks. From riverbanks to mountains.  

We work together to give woods and trees a future.  

In every corner of the UK. 

Over the last five decades so much has changed. 

And the need for woods and trees grows more urgent by the day. 

But we’ve been here fighting all along...

For climate. For nature. For people.

Thank you for standing with us. 

And here’s to the next 50 years.
