The Woodland Trust
The UK is one of Europe's least wooded countries.The Woodland Trust is the UK's leading woodland conservation charity. The
trust plants around 500,000 trees every year and is restoring over 100 ancient woodland sites which are home to more
threatened species than any other UK habitat. Furthermore, half of the ancient broadleaved woodland that had survived until
the 1930's has now been lost.
Walking for the Woodland Trust
The money raised on the walk will specifically help to fund the Tree for All campaign, which this year has worked in
conjunction with the Trafalgar Woods project, celebrating the close association between trees and the UK's maritime history.
2005 marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, and this event will be commemorated by creating 27 new woods,
each one named after a ship in Nelson's fleet. School children, local communities and sea, army and air cadets are involved
in planting trees in England, Wales and Scotland. The Tree for All campaign is the most ambitious children's tree planting
project ever launched in the UK. Between September 2004 and 2009, the aim is to involve 1 million children in planting 12
million trees - that's one tree for every UK child under the age of 16.
