Woodlands across Dorset face an uncertain future. Climate change, disease and invasive species threaten to change the landscape forever. Intensive agriculture and human development squeeze woodlands into ever-smaller pockets. The breakup of your local woodlands has profound impacts on wildlife. 1 in 40 species previously recorded in Dorset is now locally extinct. It's a problem for humans too. Without healthy woodlands we are increasingly at risk from flooding, soil erosion and carbon emissions.

By planting trees and managing woodlands we'll connect and restore precious habitats for wildlife such as dormouse, hedgehog and spotted flycatcher. Every donation will build the resilience of Dorset's woodlands, enabling planting of native trees and returning lost species to local landscapes. These woodlands support wildlife and boost biodiversity by creating habitat networks. Healthy woodlands also mitigate against climate change - reducing flooding, stabilising soils, and storing carbon.
