I trust this message finds you well. My name is Ben Green, the Woodland Trust’s External Affairs Officer for our Central Region, working closely with local authorities including town and parish councils across a vast area, from Norfolk to Shropshire, Lincolnshire to Essex. It’s an exciting time to be collaborating for the benefit of nature, people and wildlife.
