" Rare is the person who does not like trees! Whether it is the feel of different barks, the fun of trying to catch a falling leaf in autumn, or a place to breathe in the sense of timelessness only found beneath the canopy of ancient oaks, trees give us so much."
Best B&B for animals
Woodlands are a haven for animals big and small, such as deer, owls and squirrels. They offer shelter, food and protection throughout the seasons.
Breath of fresh air
Trees provide nearly one third of the earth’s oxygen and help clean the air of pollution. And the bigger and healthier they are, the more they do for us.
Inhale. Exhale. Repeat
From russet autumn, to blossoming spring, our woodlands are brimming with beauty. Wake up and smell the woods - you may discover inspiration and a smile.
Cool and collected
Trees lower our air temperature by evaporating water from their leaves and providing shade. They also slow and filter rainwater, improving water quality and help prevent flooding.
Living history
Our planet’s oldest trees date back to the time Avebury was completed, in the Bronze Age. The Ankerwycke Yew at Runnymede is the Trust's oldest tree at over 2,000 years old.
