About us
We are helping to reverse centuries of woodland decline by creating and conserving a huge broadleaf forest, a place of enduring natural beauty, protected and secured for generations to come.
The Forest is more than just trees; it is home to an incredible array of habitats, including new tree planting, mature and ancient woodland, grassland, heathland, farmland, and wetlan, which enable animals, plants, and people to thrive.
The Forest currently covers 8,000 acres and we have planted more than 2.2 million trees across 4,800 acres since the charity began. To achieve our goal of a 30,000 acre Forest, we will plant 13 million native broadleaf trees.
Our Forest learning programmes deliver significant benefits for our schools and their pupils – strengthening core knowledge, relationships, skills for learning and skills for life. These long term impacts are not achieved through one off visits. We work closely with our school partners to develop progressive programmes that deliver the curriculum (maths, literacy, science, history, geography, art, DT etc) and achieve both academic and broader personal development outcomes.Over the course of a programme of visits, learners discover new interests and talents, but also learn more about themselves and how to collaborate with others.
“The partnership with the Heart of England Forest has enabled us to provide curriculum opportunities that we otherwise would not have been able to, and we have been able to broaden our pupils’ horizons." Ark Kings Academy, Birmingham
