Minorca marvels

The National Forest is one of the boldest environmentally-led regeneration initiatives in the country – transforming a post-industrial landscape by creating a forest across 200 square miles of the Midlands, linking the ancient remnant forests of Charnwood and Needwood.Since the early 1990s, millions of trees have been planted in an area that was previously one of the least wooded parts of the country. Today, with the support of partners and communities, the National Forest is continuing to plant trees, care for woodlands, create and manage habitats, and helping to grow a greener, healthier and more sustainable future together.
