Company Description
The National Forest is a long-term landscape regeneration initiative that has transformed a former industrial and mining area into a thriving forest for nature, communities, and enterprise. Over more than 30 years, forest cover has increased significantly, restoring thousands of hectares of land, reconnecting habitats, and creating new opportunities for people and businesses. As a charity, the National Forest works with landowners, farmers, businesses, communities, charities, and public bodies to turn ambitious environmental goals into practical action. Guided by a vision of “transformation through forests,” the organization promotes wellbeing, community connection, and sustainable enterprise through its work. Building on its success, the National Forest now shares its expertise to support the development of new national forests across England, demonstrating the impact forests can have at scale.
