About Avon Needs Trees
Avon Needs Trees is a registered charity creating new, permanent woodland throughout the Bristol-Avon catchment to fight the climate and nature emergencies.
Why more woodland?
Over recent centuries the Bristol-Avon catchment area has lost most of its woodland and is now one of the most deforested parts of the UK.
This leaves us vulnerable to the climate crisis, increased flooding, and a sharp decline in our local biodiversity.
Planting new woodlands is essential to tackle the climate and nature emergencies. Woodlands take many years to deliver these benefits, and there are increasing worries about whether new woodlands planted will still be here in the decades to come.
With any tree planting project, it is important to ask if there will be long-term maintenance to ensure the woodland will thrive, and if the trees will be maintained when land changes hands. The best way to guarantee the permanence of new woodlands is to purchase or legally secure the land on which they are created.
We are tackling the climate emergency by fundraising to buy land or partner with landowners to plant new, permanent woodlands of well cared-for trees that will store up carbon over time. New woodlands help natural flood management as well as helping local nature to bounce back.
Become a Woodland Hero!
Join our growing community of regular donors, where your monthly donation will restore habitats, establish woodlands to absorb carbon and alleviate floods, and make a lasting impact! Together, we can create a better future.

We need the trees to soak up carbon already there - not as "offset" for new carbon emissions.
