North East Community Forests is a regional charity which aims to improve quality of life for North East people. It achieves this through ensuring that there are easily accessible woodlands and green spaces in and around our towns and cities, and through enabling local communities of all ages and abilities, to use and enjoy them to benefit their emotional, physical and mental health. It works closely with landowners to create, transform and manage this countryside, so that the environmental benefits are long-term and will be enjoyed by many generations to come Our principle projects are the region's two Community Forests - The Tees Forest and Great North Forest. Independent research shows that during our first 15 years we have exceeded ambitious targets to provide increased woodland cover, improved environments and opportunities for access, art and culture: whilst regenerating local economies; and encouraging community development and life-long learning. Working closely with the National Offender Management Service (NoMS), the NECF Wood Workshop in Middlesbrough produces rustic products such as benches and outdoor furniture.

At the strategic level we work hard to define and influence environmental policies and are committed to helping the North East achieve its full potential. We are proud of our reputation for successful and flexible partnership working. The results of our work are the physical and social regeneration projects that bring significant benefits, helping to attract inward investment and improving the quality of life for the region's inhabitants through creating and managing green infrastructure at the landscape scale. The evidence of our partnership work is growing all around. To support the work of North East Community Forests through donations or fundraising - please click here. Thank You.
