Who we work with
Help us achieve our vision of a Scotland in which trees and native woodlands are thriving for our wildlife, communities and climate.
We work alongside individuals, NGOs, community-based groups, corporate partners and research organisations to help trees and native woodlands thrive. The more we work together, the more change is possible for our wildlife, communities and climate.
We believe collaboration is crucial to protecting and preserving trees and native woodlands. And we are keen to initiate partnerships with organisations that share our ambition.

Our corporate partners
bp
Future Woodlands Scotland and bp have been working together to restore Scotland’s native woodlands for over 20 years. Originating with the pioneering Scottish Forest Alliance, the partnership has successfully added nearly 6,000 hectares of new or restored native woodland, enriching Scotland’s biodiversity through nature-based solutions.
In 2020 we launched a £2 million, three-year pilot project Future Woodlands Fund. This initiative encourages landowners to establish new native woodland and restore ‘ghost’ or degraded former native woodlands that have high ecological potential.
Building on this success, our partnership expanded in 2023 to include urban forestry, funded through bp’s Offshore Wind commitment. Over the next decade Future Woodlands Scotland and bp aim to make Scotland’s urban areas greener by investing £10m in our urban forests. We will do this by supporting the creation of leafier neighbourhoods, including trees in parks, streets, amenity areas and along canals and rivers. We will also support projects that will encourage people to spend more time outdoors interacting with their communities, promoting health and wellbeing.
Answer Connect
In December 2022, AnswerConnect chose Future Woodlands Scotland as their charity partner, as part of its “Giving Back” initiative, in which they donate to a different environmental NGO each month.
Alongside our partners, we contribute to and collaborate on campaigns that support our mission. We are a founding member of the Alliance for Scotland’s Rainforest.
