North East Community Forest: 5th Anniversary Celebration

It's been an incredible journey, and this special event will bring together partners, community groups, environmental organisations, landowners and policymakers to reflect on the impact of the North East Community Forest since its launch and explore the opportunities ahead.

Whether you've supported us from the beginning or are new to our work, we'd love you to be part of the celebration. We'll showcase inspiring projects and success stories from across the region, hear from expert speakers, and explore how we can continue supporting people, restoring nature and tackling climate change together.
