Birmingham TreePeople at launch of Midlands Forest Network


Four years ago, we submitted a proposal paper to the West Midlands Combined Authority, suggesting a "Midlands Forest" project would be a fantastic idea to rival the great work on the Northern Forest.

Wednesday 7th February, three BTP trustees – Tonia Clark, Simon Needle, and Ian McDermott – were invited to attend the formal launch of the Midlands Forest Network at The Exchange in Birmingham, where a packed room heard from various VIP's from The Woodland Trust, Midlands Engine, (Defra), and others that the two-year formal scoping phase of this project is now live.
BTP were given a shout-out, thanks to the pivotal work we’ve been doing in the city, and we are very pleased and proud to be part of this potentially impactful programme.
