ABOUT US
Tir Coed is a charity that engages people with woodlands through volunteering, training and bespoke activities that increase well-being, develop skills and improve woodlands for the benefit of everyone
Over the past 20 years Tir Coed has developed a comprehensive engagement model that supports people as they develop, from first step engagement through to employment. All of the work carried out by volunteers and trainees improves the health of the woodland and its accessibility for the benefit of the whole community.

You can:
- Participate in courses through the medium of Welsh*, and have access to supporting materials in Welsh or bilingually
