Great Western Community Forest covers more than 168 square miles over three counties.
The Great Western Community Forest is celebrating its 30th year after it was originally founded in 1994.
Community forests are spread across a mix of community woodland, private woodland, on-street, urban woodland, wooded habitat corridors and hedgerows. With more than two decades of experience working with the WWT, Neil Pullen has watched the forest grow. "It's had this amazing community involvement, I meet so many people in Swindon who say 'I can remember planting the first few trees up on Shaw Forest Park' or 'I went to Mouldon Hill with the Rotary Club and planted trees'.
