Established in 2019, Avon Needs Trees is a Bristol-based charity focused on creating new, permanent woodland through the Bristol-Avon River catchment to help fight the climate and ecological emergencies. Its objective is to establish woodlands that endure for generations, serving as vital carbon sinks, enhancing local biodiversity, providing natural flood management, and creating permanent green space for locals to connect with nature. The charity is community driven, with over a thousand local volunteers getting involved with tree planting and aftercare each year. As part of their ‘right intervention, right place’ approach, they also incorporate a mixture of complimentary habitats into their woodlands, such a wildflower meadows, hedgerow, and wetlands into their woodlands to maximise benefits for climate and for nature.
