We are a registered charity (No. 920) on the island, formed in 2004. We are an independent woodland trust without connection to any other trusts.
Our aims are:-
(a) The protection and maintenance of existing woodland on the Isle of Man
(b) The creation of new woodland and enhancement of existing woodland on the Isle of Man by additional planting using predominantly Manx native species
(c) To encourage access and enjoyment to existing and new woodland by the public
We have eight voluntary directors, ~100 tree planting volunteers and no employees.
So far we have planted over 60,000 trees on the Isle of Man.
