The Heart of England Forest The Heart of England Forest is a registered charity with an ambitious vision - to create and conserve a 30,000 acre native broadleaf forest to benefit the environment, wildlife and people. At only 13% of the way towards our goal we are already the largest new native broadleaf woodland in England. Already a national asset for the country, the Forest provides a vital haven for wildlife and light airy glades and shady canopies for health and relaxation.
