UK Nature and Environment

Our trees will be surveyed across native woodlands, wood pastures, and parklands - these priority habitats have been identified in our recently published Plan for Nature. This plan provides a framework and focus for the Trust’s nature conservation efforts and includes our actions to care for our native woodlands and protect our ancient, veteran, and notable trees.

The survey work, made possible by funding from players of People’s Postcode Lottery, supports the project’s first phase to achieve the goals for ancient, veteran and notable trees highlighted in the plan. In addition to mapping the trees, the Trust aims to carry out remedial work to ensure their future condition while regenerating and protecting a new cohort of ancient trees to provide continuity of these important features for nature. The aim is to establish a future successor of each ancient, veteran and notable tree identified.
