Has a programme of mass tree planting and improving derelict and degraded land with the intention of aiding economic regeneration by helping to create jobs and a better place to work and live by creating better access to countryside recreation, wildlife conservation and environmental education.  Holds 3 weeks of events for children, a Forest Fever event in May and an annual Wood Fayre in July.
