In this episode, we explore the future of the National Forest. What will it look like centuries from now, when today’s National Forest babies are the ancestors of future generations? Our experts and advocates share their visions of a world where green space is truly accessible—and how long it might take to get there. We ask big questions, dream big, and invite you to be part of the journey. Who’s ready to help make it happen?

We visit Timber Festival – the former festival that took place in the National Forest at Feanedock Woodlands. Here, art, culture and wellbeing are at one with the landscape. It’s joyous – a slice of the harmony the National Forest's strategy aims to create long-term. We celebrate everything the Forest has achieved so far, and take an in-depth look at how it’s brought the community together.

We’ve caught up with the present day: it’s 2023 and the National Forest is growing and firmly entrenched in the landscape. Now, we have the space to think about expansion and our place in the world. We check in with our environment, economy and society. We’ve come so far, and made a huge impact. But new areas of focus have emerged since we began: the cost of living, mental health provision, and the stark effects of climate change. We explore the National Forest's strategy for the next 25 years, and how it plans to face these challenges head-on.
