1/ 🌳 Watch our new film! “Coppicing – Can the oldest style of woodland management bring UK woodlands back to life?” 🎥 youtu.be/l6UMLLj74BU

At the Ancient Woodland: Past, Present and Future conference in Birmingham, one message was unmistakable: AW need protect under law and PAWs restoration needs to increase. Ancient woodland should be treated as irreplaceable, not optional scenery. See campaigns below youtu.be/AWgtMwWCCBA?...

We visited Torry Hill Chestnut Fencing - a 5th gen family business in Kent, to film our next episode on #coppicing. By buying and expanding the business they helped to keep coppicing alive in the region after the pulp market collapsed, showing the value of #traditionalskills #ukforestry #woodland

The first step of #ancientwoodlandrestoration is to halt further decline by removing the threats to the health and natural diversity of the #Woodlands, supporting it's #NaturalRegeneration. Learn more about these amazing #forests and how to restore them in our latest film youtu.be/AWgtMwWCCBA?...

At last month’s #ifnotnowthenwhen Rewilding Conference, Charly premiered a 10‑minute version of our film on #restoringancientwoodlands. It was met with some great really feedback 🌳🎬 Coming soon to our channel, a new film on #coppicing now in the works. #WoodForTheTrees #Rewilding #AncientWoodlands

The 3 stages of #ancientwoodlandrestoration are to halt further decline, transform back to #nativewoodland and to maximise #ecological integrity. Mick Bracken (Woodland Trust) explains in all these stages it is #light that is the most important factor.

🌲What is #ancientwoodland? Land that has been continuously wooded for at least 400 years, during the mid 20th century, nearly half of them were felled and replanted mostly with fast-growing #timber species. Now these precious #Ecosystems are small and fragmented and cover less than 3% of UK land. 🌳

The Woodland Trust are championing #ancientwoodlandrestoration too! Join their campaign below... They say "Unless our government acts decisively, we risk losing these #preciousecosystems forever. Urge your minister to rescue our damaged ancient woods now." www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-t...

#Ancientwoodlands are vital for biodiversity but many have become #Ghostwoods "once thriving ancient woodlands felled in the 20th century and now smothered by monoculture plantations." @wildcard.land's new Ghost Wood campaign is calling on @forestryengland.bsky.social to restore these lost habitats.

Our film-maker Charly lived at Coed Hills for some years and is excited to be back this weekend for #Coedffest to celebrate and share films including the newly released “Ancient Woodland Restoration - The Story of Light and Life” along with two others from the WFTT series, and Q&A afterwards.

🌳 Our New Film! Journey with us to Cornwall, exploring #ancientwoodlandsrestoration on land that now covers less than 3% of the UK @philsturgeon.com (Protect Earth) at High Wood & Mick Bracken (Woodland Trust) at Millook. Discover why such ecosystems matter and how they bring hope for biodiversity!

Oceanic Rainforests. Millook on the North Cornish coast is a prime example of why we need to protect and restore these rare #ecosystems. #TemperateRainforest #Conservation

High Wood, Liskeard: Conifer timber forest, in the process of #ancientwoodlandrestoration. In our next film see how Protect Earth is breathing new life into this ancient forest. #LostRainforestOfBritain

From #conifer plantations to #nativewoodlands: Charly has been down in Cornwall filming the transformation PAWs sites. A story of hope for our #ancientwoodlands. #WoodlandRevival

SIGN THIS IMPORTANT PETITION! Stop Dartington Hall Trust destroying a groundcreaking, 31 year old #foodforest @agroforestryrt.bsky.social a unique example that has inspired both our film maker @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social and myself to create our own #forestgardens.

#WorldRewildingDay Gratitude to everyone championing the revival of #naturalecosystems @rewildingbritain.org.uk At recent screening of 'Wilding' @kneppwilding.bsky.social alongside our film below, people said it really helped to explain what was happening in #rewilding and why #rewildingtogether

Woodland creation and management are key to delivering significant environmental benefits, from boosting biodiversity to enhancing ecosystem resilience. 🦉🌿 Learn how improving existing woodlands and creating new ones can maximize their environmental value: www.forestresearch.gov.uk/news/143260-...

In our 2nd film Tom meets Dougal Driver head of www.growninbritain.org/ who encourage responsible #woodlandmanagement, and certify UK #woodland products Discussing how successful management ensures #productiveforests, delivering #biodiversity, #carboncapture and #watermanagement benefits.

Our first #woodforthetreesuk film introducing our first series, way back in 2019! We wanted to record a series of conversations with #woodland experts about the future of our #forests, to show at the #COP26 UN Climate Change summit in Scotland. Here's why...

In the second part of our recent series we spoke with David Pengelly at Stourhead Western Estate to discuss how financially viable #ContinuousCoverForestry is, why #forest owners should consider it and what Government and #Timber industry could do to support it. Link to full film in comments 🧵1/2

In our most recent series we went to Stourhead Western Estate and spoke with David Pengelly BSc(Hons) FICFor to see if #timberproduction and #ecosystem #biodiversity can co-exist in #ContinuousCoverForestry The link to the full film is in the comments 🧵1/2

What's the future for UK #woodlands and #forests? Everyone's talking about #treeplanting, but there is lot to consider: What do we plant? Where? Why? Who pays? How is it managed? In our short films we interview experts to provide insights and ideas. #trees #uktimber #rewilding #agroforestry
