Give the gift that covers the whole household
If you know someone who loves visiting forests, give them a membership voucher. A membership voucher gives them and the whole household a whole year of free visits, theirs to start whenever they're ready. Local or national, it's a gift that'll get used.
The recipient of your gift can choose when their membership starts and enjoy a whole year of Forestry England member benefits.
We love being a part of Forestry England. It is great to pay an annual membership and be able to access well maintained woodlands around the country and know we are supporting your work

Take part in our Members' Competition this October
This October, we're inviting Forestry England members to share a video on social media on the theme of 'A day in the life of a Forestry England member' for a chance to win one of five free membership renewals. Whether it's a peaceful family walk, a zip down one of our cycle trails or just taking in the gorgeous autumn leaves, if you're a member, we'd love to see your videos! See the competition terms and conditions below.
I have always enjoyed being outdoors, and the ability to combine this with supporting your very important work was an easy choice. My parents regularly took us to the New Forest and the Forest of Dean, and so being able to use my membership to visit other forest sites made becoming and continuing to be a member a good idea.
