Meet the members: Woodland Trust
Eating Better
Eating Better is an alliance of 60 organisations working towards healthy and sustainable food systems in the UK.
The Woodland Trust is the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity with a vision of a world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature. They fight to protect our precious ancient and veteran woods and trees and restore the ones that are damaged, creating new native woodland with the help of communities, schools, organisations and individuals. The Woodland Trust has over 500,000 supporters and 1,200 sites with free access in their care, covering over 29,000 hectares.
They are working closely with farmers to protect, restore and get more trees, woods and hedges into farmed landscape as part of productive agroforestry systems. Their report 'Farming for the Future: the climate and nature benefits of agroforestry' highlights how an expansion of agroforestry can help to increase biodiversity and achieve net zero in the farming sector here in the UK. Over the past nine years, through their Trees for your Farm scheme they have supported nearly 250 farmers to adopt agroforestry and plant 300,000 trees.
