Who are the Woodland Trust
The Woodland Trust is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity. By acquiring sites and campaigning for woodland, we aim to conserve, restore and re-establish native woodland to its former glory. Currently we own and care for over 1,000 woods, covering over 50,000 acres.

Discuss it
Before completing any of the challenges, these are some things you might like to discuss with your group:
- Why are woodlands important?
- What lives in woodlands? Where would these animals and plants go if the woodlands were chopped down?
- How often do the girls in your group go to woodlands? What do they do their? Do they find the woodland scary or fun?
