Who will deliver the project?

The long-term Westonbirt Project is being spearheaded by the Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum and supported by the Forestry Commission.
 

The Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum was formed in 1985. The charity works in partnership with the Forestry Commission with the objective to ‘support The National Arboretum in promoting public understanding of the crucial role of trees to the environment and society’.

Westonbirt Arboretum has been managed by the Forestry Commission since 1956. The Forestry Commission’s mission at Westonbirt is ‘to connect people with trees to improve the quality of life’ and the Westonbirt Project is intended to help deliver this by making visitors more aware of the importance of trees in all our lives.
