Avon Needs Trees

Who we are

Avon Needs Trees is a registered charity creating new permanent woodland throughout the Bristol-Avon catchment to fight the climate and ecological emergency.

We fundraise to buy land to create new woodlands that will stand for generations, locking up carbon, boosting local biodiversity, and providing natural flood management as well as publicly accessible green space.

Since our formation in 2019, we have had two incredibly successful projects in Wiltshire purchasing two sites of 47 acres, planting and caring for 22,000 native trees with the help of hundreds of volunteers from local and surrounding communities.

In 2023 we launched a further two sites, the first being a purchase of over 100 acres near south Bristol which is our biggest and most ambitious project yet, and the second being our first land partnership project to create a woodland on land not owned by us but where we have secured legal permenance.
