Greenwood is proud to be part of England's Community Forests.
England’s Community Forests is the leading woodland creation force in the country. It is a diverse and growing network of 15 unique Community Forests, each working in partnership with their local communities, landowners and businesses to help nature recover and regenerate the landscapes in and around our largest towns and cities. They work together to support each other and amplify their voice nationally.
Its roots go back over 30 years, with Community Forests now forming the biggest environmental regeneration initiative in England. England’s Community Forests is recognised in the Planning Policy Framework and is highlighted as part of the Government’s 25 Year Plan for the Environment, playing a key role in shaping woodland creation and nature recovery policy both nationally and locally.
It provides free advice and support to landowners and land managers to help plan, fund, and plant new woodland of all sizes in both rural and urban settings, drawing on local expertise and people power. Its long-term commitment to the areas in which it works is ensuring that trees and woodlands are at the very heart of communities up and down the country, unlocking countless benefits for people and planet.
