A year of growth — our 2024/25 Impact Report
It was a record-breaking year for the Heart of England Forest across 2024/25 — planting over 82,000 trees, acquiring new land, and welcoming more volunteers and learners into the Forest than ever before. Volunteers alone contributed over 15,000 hours to conservation work across the Forest.
Our Impact Report captures the full picture of what we achieved together — for the environment, for wildlife, and for local communities. From rare butterfly species finding new habitat in our restored landscapes, to school children from Birmingham visiting the Forest weekly thanks to corporate partnerships, the report shows what is possible when businesses and charities work together.
With so much more land still to protect and plant, securing the long-term funding to grow the Forest to its full potential of 30,000 acres is what drives us forward every day.
If you are a business looking to make a meaningful, local impact — whether through fundraising, partnership, or simply learning more about what we do — we would love to hear from you.
