Tir Coed stands for improving the quality of life for rural communities in Wales through trees and woodlands in order to sustain and enhance their social, economic, ecological and cultural value for the future.
Tir Coed was established in 1999 by an alliance of countryside organisations to promote the benefits of woodlands throughout Wales, the organisation has evolved in tune with the Welsh Assembly Government's priorities of Health, Social Inclusion and Education. In 2006, Tir Coed became a Charity (Charity number 1115229).
The central objective is the development, through facilitation and partnership working, of community led woodland initiatives for socially disadvantaged rural communities. These facilities will embrace opportunities to deliver direct social, recreational and economic benefits, particularly those that promote health and well being, rural regeneration and the alleviation of social exclusion and deprivation.
