Evolving Forests
We work with and create rich media for those growing trees in more considered ways; for sustainable timber, thriving ecosystems, society, and beyond..
Premiering on the 1st of May 🎬 our new short film People.Community.Forest explores the deep and evolving relationship between people and their local forests.
🌳 From the misty woodlands of Scotland to the vibrant landscapes of Nepal, the structured forestry of Germany, and wooded city-edge in England.
🌲Through compelling personal narratives, told by the communities themselves, our film examines the successes and challenges of community forestry initiatives, offering a window into a movement that seeks to restore the balance between humanity and nature.
👀 🎥 Details for our premier screening and panel discussion event COMING SOON 🌲🌴🌳

We’ve created a call to arms for the @charteredforesters centenary year and 2025 conference, and had a lot of fun in the process. Edited in-house by @aliceisalwaysinwonderland and music produced by @catherineaisha
Turn the sound up! And spend 1 minute pondering what the future of forestry might be…

#timber
As we increasingly strive for low-carbon solutions, timber is gaining popularity as a go-to renewable material. But as we embrace timber in decarbonising our built environment, we also need to protect our forests, plant more trees, preserve nature’s resources, and enhance biodiversity. So, how do we balance these vital but competing goals? What’s next for the future of timber?
Next week, we launch something we’ve been working on over the past year. A whole-supply-chain conversation through Europe and the UK discussing the growing demand for timber and the ways that industry and individuals are responding to the challenges of a rapidly changing climate, forest health, and timber supply.
We cannot wait to share this with you. Watch this space! 🌳 🌲 🌴

Tree health: Dartmoor
We’re back out for 2026. Finishing the surveying we started last year up on Okehampton common.
Fresh volunteers.
Banging company.
Kind weather.
A heck of a lot of walking.
And very few trees.
We love this project. With citizen science at its heart. We’re gathering baseline tree health data for open-grown trees on Dartmoor. Fifth year running, and it’s always a joy. The first day of surveying yielded only a few tiny naturally regenerated saplings, and a couple of veterans. Think we might have recorded the highest living Hawthorn on the Moor!! Next week promises a lot more trees (or at least that’s what I’ve promised our galant volunteers🤞)

The next round of the ADOPT grant scheme for farming and forestry businesses has opened for business and we can help you access it.
We’re excited to announce that we are registered facilitators for the scheme. And the great news is that England-based businesses of any size active in farming, growing or forestry are eligible. We are working with two applicants at the moment, one significant estate forestry enterprise, the other on-farm agroforestry, the eligibility scope is wide.
The competition will be supporting innovative trials and experiments that want to test ideas and solutions that demonstrate that they will address major on-farm, in-forest, or immediate post ‘farm’ gate challenges & opportunities. Projects that have the potential to significantly improve one or more of the following:
🌱 productivity
🌱resilience
🌱sustainability & progression towards net-zero farming
The fund is in two stages.
1️⃣ The first stage allows you to take on someone (a facilitator) to help you get an application for funding in. This gets around the age old problem of funding being admin heavy to access; all the bureaucratic heavy lifting you put onto us as facilitators allowing you to concentrate on actually finding solutions to problems.
2️⃣ The second stage, which we help you complete, is the full application for significant funding.
The closing date for this round is 27th May. There have been a series of rounds so we’d expect more but get in touch sooner rather than later before the money runs out.
If you have an idea you’ve been sitting on - get in touch for a chat!
@ThousandYearTrust are building the UK’s first Rainforest Research Station in partnership with @UnknownWorks and @Woodlandtrust
Set within Cabilla Rainforest Valley on Bodmin Moor, the site spans ancient woodland, recovering forest, and degraded farmland, offering a rare opportunity for year-round research within a living rainforest landscape.
We’re proud to be working closely with @WoodlandTrust to carefully source timber from rainforest restoration sites on the edge of Dartmoor, ensuring that extraction supports ecological resilience and long-term forest stewardship.
This project rethinks how we build:
• Designing with local, mixed-species, climate-resilient UK timber
• Unlocking underutilised species for structural and non-structural use
• Prioritising raw materials over globalised supply chains
• Creating a building that acts as a living library of restoration timber
Together with @FormatEngineers, @EmanuelHendryltd and @evolving_forests, we are realising a research facility that will help catalyse the restoration of temperate rainforests across the UK, the first of its kind in Europe.
Now underway, this project explores how rainforests can support biodiversity, climate stability, and human wellbeing, and how we can protect and expand them for the future.

Emma Welton @soundwalksexeterviolin. Norway spruce against norway spruce. She is celebrating a centenary of her violin, we’ve been helping understand the timber it’s made from. Thinking of a hundred years of music preceded by three hundred years of growing, of making and becoming.
Thanks for the use of the photo Emma.
Rekindling Our Connection to Trees is Jez Ralph's call for greater awareness, ambition and intelligence in how we manage our woodlands and utilise their timber resource in the UK. Jez is a forester and co-founder of Evolving Forests, a UK-based charity based in Dorset that promotes a closer, mutually beneficial relationship between trees and people through innovative uses for locally grown wood in construction and design.
You can read Jez's piece about what this might require in Volume 1 of Common Treasures, a series of books produced by an organisation of the same name, which brings together stories from practitioners working on the ground and in the field in communities and rural places across the UK.
Volume 1 focuses on contributions from people working for change in food, farming and land systems, whether on the site of a single small holding or at the regional or national scale.
Their stories are part of an ongoing series of books that present practical responses to contemporary challenges in rural communities from people whose work is grounded in an understanding of the centrality of land use and access to land in solving the most challenging problems we face.
Contributions feature representatives of the Ecological Land Cooperative, Fordhall Community Land Initiative, Evolving Forests, Transition Towns, Falmouth Food Coop, Tinkers’ Bubble, Material Cultures, Straw Works, ReSet, Local Works Studio, Wessex Community Assets & Roots to Regeneration.

Contributions feature representatives of the Ecological Land Cooperative, Fordhall Community Land Initiative, Evolving Forests, Transition Towns, Falmouth Food Coop, Tinkers’ Bubble, Material Cultures, Straw Works, ReSet, Local Works Studio, Wessex Community Assets & Roots to Regeneration.

dRMM: Building from Forests, our new installation at the V&A South Kensington, is now open as part of the Make Good: Rethinking Material Futures programme.
This is an incredible opportunity for us to showcase the outcomes of our research into the potential of British-grown hardwoods, and how mixed-species, climate-resilient forests can inform the next generation of low-carbon construction.
Huge thanks to John Makepeace OBE, to Anna Bates and John Williams from the V&A, to our research partners @nmite_ac, @edinburghnapier, @be_stbuild and Ecosystems Technologies and to @forestryengland for commissioning the research.
Thanks also to @xylotekltd @evolving_forests @highlandheritagewoodworks and @compassrigging who helped us and our partners with the fabrication and installation.
Please come and visit the display in the furniture gallery, you have nearly a year as it’s on until 30 October 2026. We’ll keep everyone updated with plans for the Make Good 2026 symposium coming this March!

From woodland to workshop!
I’ve spent the fantastic week in Herefordshire on the @woodlandheritage – Woodland to Workshop course. We began in the forest looking at different silvicultural management techniques and how they shape the future of our woodlands. We explored how trees grow, what influences timber quality, and why the provenance of the material we use is ohh so very important!
From there we moved to @whitneysawmills where we learnt to grade, cut and dry the logs, and discovered just how many decisions are made before a piece of wood ever reaches the workbench.
This course really helped me to understand the whole process of growing, nurturing and looking after trees – from sapling to sawmill. I’ve come away with a much deeper appreciation for the journey from tree to table, and for the people who steward our woodlands and bring out the best in this incredible material.
Big thanks to the Woodland Heritage team, the tutors, @evolving_forests @nmite_ac and everyone who shared the week.

It's that time of year again 🍄 We were very excited to find Chicken of the Woods growing right outside our office here in Dartington. But they are not just a delicious treat... Fungi help drive the cycles that underpin the timber supply chain. They decompose wood and organic matter, returning vital nutrients to the soil. Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with tree roots, affecting growth rates, resilience, and even the quality of timber. Pathogenic fungi, on the other hand, can alter forest composition by challenging certain species, which in turn reshapes future timber availability, fungi regulate the balance between decay and renewal processes that determine not just how forests evolve, but how sustainable our timber resources can be.When we think about the future of forestry and timber, we must also think about fungi. 🍄#Forests #Fungi #Timber #EvolvingForests
