About the Entry
The National Forest Company leads the creation of the National Forest, a wooded landscape for the nation across 200 square miles of central England.
Back in 1987, visionaries at the Countryside Commission pioneered the concept of a National Forest, a forested landscape that would bring all the benefits of trees and woodlands near to where people live and work. A competition was held to select the location for what would be the first forest to be created at scale in England for one thousand years.
The area chosen to be the National Forest had suffered massively from the closure of the coal and clay industries in the mid-80s, and the landscape of the central area was crying out for regeneration and renewal.
Today, the National Forest is a regeneration success story and a green-print for a better way of life. In planting trees and thereby restoring a rich wildlife habitat to the area, it has provided a more sustainable and positive future for the next generation. It has boosted the local economy by creating jobs in the woodland and tourism industries. And in these stressful, tech-heavy times, there’s scientific proof that being around woodlands reduces stress and improves well-being. With 80% of the National Forest with public access, the whole community can benefit.
