The Woodland Trust, founded in London , England in 1972 , and now based in Grantham , Lincolnshire , is a conservation charity in the United Kingdom concerned with the protection and sympathetic management of native Woodland Heritage . It looks after more than 1,100 woods and groups of woods covering 190 km&2. Nearly 350 of the sites contain ancient woodland of which 70 per cent is semi-natural ancient woodland – land which has never been cleared or replanted by man. They also manage over 110 in the Trossachs . Its projects also include the Nature Detectives youth program. The Woodland Trust uses its experience and authority in conservation to influence others who are in a position to improve the future of native woodland. This includes government, other landowners and like-minded organisations. It also campaigns to protect Ancient Woodland from destructive development. Its current president is Clive Anderson .
