Growing together

All of the sites are open to the public, so that families will be able to visit, and enjoy the natural environment.

Between January 2008 and April 2012, a total of 147,000 trees have been planted at 6 new woodland sites across Wales.

Why is it good to plant trees?

 Planting trees to create new woodland matters to everyone. It creates more attractive places to live and work and helps wildlife to prosper, but woodland also has a key role to play in securing future quality of life for the current generation of Plant! children.
 

Trees and woods are central to the character of many local communities, providing  vital green spaces for physical exercise and relaxation. Because they are beautiful places they inspire our imaginations and creativity, they provide places where families and children can have fun and  learn about the natural environment.

Trees are incredibly important for lots of reasons: they are essential to regulating climate and weather, important for the flow and quality of water, for mitigation of air pollution, healthy soil, storing carbon and helping society to adapt to climate change. They absorb carbon dioxide. generate oxygen, are home to a spectacular variety of wildlife and provide us with raw materials and shelter.

Within as little as 12 years, bare land can be transformed into thriving woodland providing crucial green spaces for people, wildlife and the planet.
