Landscape-scale conservation

We're working with partners, farmers, landowners and local communities to create bigger, better, more resilient landscapes across the UK for people and wildlife.

Our landscape-scale conservation involves working closely with landowners and farmers to help mitigate climate change and bringing huge benefits to biodiversity and the economy.

Planting trees on crofts can strengthen this fragile woodland network, while delivering multiple benefits for the crofter and the wider public, including improved productivity, business diversification, carbon capture and richer habitats.

In Northern Ireland, we're aiming to reconnect pockets of precious ancient woodland to allow them to thrive in the future.

We'll work together to look beyond individual sites, connecting habitats across entire regions.

Habitat restoration and woodland expansion across landscapes will play a huge role in addressing the threats we face from climate change and biodiversity loss.

That's where our Treescapes programme comes in. We're working together with partners, landowners and communities to make the landscape-scale changes needed to take us into the future. We're restoring, protecting and creating woodland in focus areas across the UK, planting trees in the right place, and rekindling our love and connection with woods and wildlife at a local level.

What we're doing

Working across entire landscapes takes enormous collaborative input, but brings extraordinary benefits for wildlife, people and the economy...

Restoring ancient woodland

Working in partnership with over 600 landowners and managers, we're protecting and restoring thousands of hectares of fragile ancient woodland across the UK.

Increasing tree cover

We're promoting the vast expansion of native woodland cover through planting and natural regeneration to fight the effects of climate change and boost biodiversity.
