Welcome to Future Woodlands Scotland
We’re a charity working in Scotland, transforming cityscapes and rural landscapes through the power of trees.
Our priorities
Restore threatened
woodland habitats
Our most precious ancient woodlands are on the verge of disappearing. Help us bring them back to life.
Enhance urban
green spaces
We support and fund organisations to create healthier environments in Scotland’s towns by planting more trees.
Support research and action
for native woodlands
We fund research and ideas that deepen our understanding of native woodlands’ impact on communities, climate and biodiversity.
Our Impact
For more than 12 years, we have demonstrated that protecting and restoring Scotland’s trees and native woodlands is an effective way to safeguard landscapes, attract more wildlife and create more opportunities to tackle climate change. We work with partners and fund projects to protect, enhance and extend the green and woodland spaces of Scotland.
