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.
