Discover our forests

Sun shining through the forest

 

With six sites across the UK and Ireland, we manage almost 2,500 acres of woodland, caring for and ensuring the long-term sustainability of these irreplaceable forests and the species which live within them. As a business, we have been operating in the UK for more than three decades, but some of our forests can trace their roots back to the 11th century. They have played host to kings and legends, supported local industry, and even hosted an archaeological dig. For us, the stories of our forests have three chapters – their life before we arrived, the benefits of responsible construction and operation, and their future.
