The Forest is more than just trees; it is home to an incredible array of habitats that not only enable animals and plants to thrive but provide a sanctuary for people. Find out more about how we have created increased opportunities for people to benefit from time spent in nature in the latest in our “Then and now series”.

In the face of pressing climate change challenges, it is crucial to recognise and appreciate the vital role that heathland habitats play in the Forest’s landscape.

Volunteers have been helping the charity for many years and they truly are the backbone of the Forest. Find out how in the second instalment of the ‘Then and Now’ series celebrating our 20th Anniversary.

We are creating a Forest that will be here for life, so engaging the younger generation now is vital, as today’s children are tomorrow's Forest guardians.

The 2022 Red List of British butterflies shockingly included around half of our 59 British species, but our work in the Forest is helping and there are ways we can help at home too.

In 2003, the Heart of England Forest was created as a charity, and much has changed since then both in the Forest and in the world around us. Throughout this year, we invite you to discover how the woodland has grown and how the charity’s work has developed over the past 20 years, starting with our learning and skills work.
