Tir Coed stands for improving the quality of life for rural communitties 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 set up in 1999 and in 2007 gained charitable status.

The charity works to utilise woodlands in Wales as a tool to develop the personal, social and vocational skills of disadvantaged people living in rurally isolated areas, whilst also enhancing the woodland resource. 

Tir Coed has recently set up a social enterprise; WiseWoods Wales to both help sustain the charity in the future and offer a career pathway for participants.
