The document summarizes a presentation given by Justin Milward from the Woodland Trust about the benefits of woodlands. It discusses that the Woodland Trust is a conservation charity formed in 1972 that now owns over 1,000 sites across the UK totaling 20,000 hectares. It notes that trees and woodlands provide numerous benefits, including helping wildlife, improving health and wellbeing, mitigating climate change, benefiting water resources, boosting the economy, and creating sustainable communities. The document advocates for increasing tree planting and woodland creation in England to capitalize on these environmental, social, and economic advantages.
