Green Light Trust

The Green Light Trust is an environmental and educational charity whose mission is to bring communities and landscapes to life through 'hands-on' learning and the growing of woodlands.

With independence and self-sufficiency as the goal, it works with both urban and rural communities to find land, design, plant, manage and own its woodland projects.

Its work in schools involves pupils from early years to the sixth form; activities include gathering seeds and caring for forests to develop experience and values of environmental conservation.

Working in partnership with local communities, Green Light has helped to establish nearly 60 rural and urban projects in 8 counties (including 2 business WildSpaces in Oxford and Cambridge.
