Ancient Woodlands UK
OUR CAMPAIGN
This is a youth campaign dedicated to protecting ancient woodlands. Our goal is to change the law to ensure that these precious ecosystems are given ultimate protection. We were originally funded by the Woodland Trust’s Youth Igniting Innovation Fund and are looking for further funding opportunities.
We are a passionate team of young people who care about the environment and are committed to making a difference. Our campaign is based on scientific research and a deep understanding of the importance of ancient woodlands for wildlife and biodiversity. Join us to protect these irreplaceable natural treasures for generations to come.
