The Woodland Trust is urging Government to transform our Forgotten Forests into forests of the future.

After World War Two, we needed timber to rebuild our country and so vast Sitka Spruce forests were planted. These forest are coming to maturation and The Woodland Trust is urging Government to instead plan natural forests instead of the barren monoculture that Sitka creates.

Stop this Sitka take over from happening again! Stop Greencroft Forest from becoming a simple case of history repeating itself. Say no to barren monoculture timber forests and say yes to our countryside.
