The North East Community Forest (NECF) is comprised of six local authorities in North East England, with national and local partners.
Living Woods is one of the local partners of NECF, and is also working with various parts of North East Community Forest to deliver community engagement, through tree planting and other woodland creation events.

The purpose of this page is to promote the various elements of work we do in partnership with NECF, as follows:
Community Tree Planting
Currently working with South Tyneside Council and North Tyneside Council on events to plant trees on public land with local communities.
Schools Tree Planting & Tree Care
Events across the region in local primary schools – sorry, these are not public events.
Looking after local tiny forests
We are the local partner for Earthwatch, delivering ongoing maintenance, community engagement and citizen science in the nine Tiny Forests in the North East Community Forest.
Four of the Tiny Forests are on public land where the local community can be involved in Newcastle and Gateshead. The other five Tiny Forests are in primary schools in Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland – find out more about Tiny Forests at Earthwatch.
