The National Forest for Wales

Join us on our trail of adventure through Wales as we create a unique National Forest which stretches the length and breadth of Wales.

The National Forest for Wales will:

  • stretch the length and breadth of Wales, making it accessible to everyone
  • be a real community venture with new woodland being planted by communities, farmers and landowners right across Wales
  • create new areas of woodland as well as restoring and maintaining Wales' unique and irreplaceable existing woodlands
  • protect nature and address biodiversity loss, also supporting the health and wellbeing of communities
