Forestry

Natural Resources Wales are responsible for creating, protecting, and managing woodlands in Wales.

Woodlands improve the quality of the environment because they:

  • help protect the quality of drinking water supplies
  • help manage flood events
  • capture harmful pollutants and improve air quality
  • provide shade, shelter, and absorb sound
  • stabilise soils, reducing erosion and landslides
  • provide a rich habitat for plants and animals, including pollinators and rare species
