The Heart of England Forest is an English charity[2] for the conservation and restoration of native habitats primarily within the counties of Warwickshire and Worcestershire. It aims to address the loss of ancient woodlands and other habitats in a region historically covered by the Forest of Arden, which has been substantially diminished due to extensive deforestation activities over the centuries.
The charity has planted over two million trees to help restore a variety of native woodland types for biodiversity and ecological resilience. In addition to reforestation, it also works to conserve existing ancient woodland sites and works to restore wetland and grassland habitats.[2]
