Woodland Trust

Find and explore woodland

The Woodland Trust offers a searchable route to thousands of woods across the UK, many free to visit. Its visitor resources include walking, family activities, seasonal ideas, virtual tours, podcasts and foraging guidance. Visitors can use the site to find a nearby wood and plan their journey, checking access information and any site-specific guidance before setting out.

Trees, wildlife and nature guides

The website hosts guides to native trees, tree pests and diseases, woodland plants and animals, fungi, lichens and habitats. The Nature’s Calendar section invites people to observe seasonal changes, while the Ancient Tree Inventory records notable trees. These resources support identification and learning; users should follow conservation guidance and avoid disturbing wildlife or sensitive habitats.

Planting and caring for trees

The charity provides advice on choosing, planting and caring for trees, woodland creation, natural regeneration, agroforestry and planting on farms or other land. It also offers free tree packs for schools and communities, subject to the scheme’s current eligibility and application details. Landowners can explore the MOREwoods programme and other guidance for planting on their property.

Campaigns and conservation

The Trust works on threats to woods and trees, urban trees, ancient woodland restoration and landscape-scale conservation. Visitors can learn about campaigns, take action in their community, volunteer, engage through schools and events, or support the charity through membership and donations. Its publications and State of UK Woods and Trees reports provide further information about its work.
