| Since our foundation in 1972 the Woodland Trust, the UK's leading woodland conservation charity, has worked to conserve the UK's precious native woodland and its place in our heritage, and create habitat for the wildlife that depends on it. We have planted over 5,000,000 trees, care for more than 1,100 woods and endeavour to prevent further loss of ancient woodland. Through our work in keeping woodland alive we have identified a number of key issues: climate change as the greatest threat to the environment; the need to conserve the landscape, not simply isolated reserves; restoration of ancient woodland planted with non-native trees and involving people, especially children, in our work. We continue to pursue our core objectives: No further loss of ancient woodland: The Trust cares for more than 350 ancient woodland sites and leads a drive for action on a landscape scale whilst campaigning for greater legal protection from other threats such as airport and road expansion, and helping communities fight for local woods under threat. Improving woodland biodiversity: Woodland sustains a rich variety of species. Maintaining and restoring the biodiversity of the UK's ancient woods and creating new native woodland is crucial to their and our future. Increasing new native woodland: Since its foundation the Trust has planted more than 5,000,000 trees and created more than 3,200 hectares of new native woodland. Increasing people's understanding and enjoyment of woodland: Trust membership has more than doubled in just four years. This is a resounding endorsement of our work. We are encouraging even wider support through family membership, new educational initiatives and opportunities for 'hands on' involvement in tree planting. As an environmental charity the Woodland Trust wants to make a difference. Through our Tree for All campaign, we want to connect children with their natural world to give them a meaningful and fun experience, and we know that one of the best ways to do this is to plant trees with them. To make a real difference we need to think big and involve as many children as possible. We want to plant 12,000,000 trees over the next five years, one for every child under 16 and engage as many children as possible with the actual act of tree planting. To achieve our aims we need the support of individuals, communities and corporate partners and so we are very pleased to be the official environmental charity partner in the Wedding Angels project. We look forward to working with Raising Angels Limited in this exciting new fundraising venture, working together to raise income and awareness for the Woodland Trust in the future.
