What we do

The Woodland Trust is the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity. We plant. Creating new woodland is at the heart of what we do. We mobilise communities, landowners, and volunteers to get trees in the ground, and aim to plant a tree for every person in the UK. We restore. Ancient woods have rich, irreplaceable ecosystems. But they’ve been damaged by non-native planting and invasive species. We work to restore them to their former glory. We protect. Standing up for trees and woods across the UK is why we’re here. We campaign to stop the irreversible destruction of ancient woodland and unnecessary loss of trees from our cities. We care. We look after 50+ woods across Northern Ireland, all just waiting for you to explore. Access to our woods is free of charge and we welcome thousands of visitors each year.
