With urban populations continuing to expand and many people living and working in cities and towns, trees and woods play an important role in improving our health and happiness.
Community Forestry focuses on enhancing the urban environment, transforming neglected and degraded sites and bringing the beauty and wonder of nature to our towns and cities. CFT is passionate about the power of trees to transform places and strengthen communities.
Community forestry is all about involving people and enabling them to take ownership of not only planting new trees, but looking after our existing woodlands and green spaces for future generations.
We see community forestry as a way to achieve widespread, environmental, social and economic benefits
