forest of avon trust
The Forest of Avon is one of England's Community Forests which were established
many years ago with the aim of connecting people with trees locally. The Forest
of Avon is not a single 'forest' but the combination of the many trees and
woodlands across the West of England, formerly Avon - the four counties of
Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
So far, well over a million trees have been planted in the Forest of Avon and
many woodlands and access networks have been improved and maintained. You may
see 'Forest of Avon' signs on your local walks showing where we have supported
landowners to improve or plant new woodland and where they support public access
for our lovely walks. As part of a network of community forests we can source
funding such as through our current Trees for Climate project, Defra funded
through England's Community Forests. We want to enable as many people as
possible to access and enjoy the benefits of our trees and community woodlands.
