Woodland Trust and Disney launch Magical Wood partnership. Photo by Stuart Leach

Dear Supporter, Karl mitchell

Welcome to the April edition of the Woodland Trust e-newsletter!

March was a 'magical' month at the Woodland Trust, which saw us make another massive leap towards our plan to create England's largest new native forest in Sandridge near St Albans, Herts.

We've just launched a partnership with Disney Store UK, which aims to create a 50 acre 'Magical Wood' in Heartwood Forest by raising money from their Earth Day celebrations. The exciting news was conveyed to millions of people on ITV and BBC News and other national and regional publications.

You can help create the 'Magical Wood' simply by buying a reusable 'Earth Day' shopping bag, which is available in Disney Stores across the UK. £1 from every bag, which features Winnie the Pooh and Piglet underneath their favourite tree, will be donated to the Woodland Trust.

We still have a way to go to reach our fundraising target, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have supported us already and ask those who haven't to consider making a donation to help create this new forest.

Kind regards,

Karl Mitchell
Fundraising Director

Things to do this spring... Leaves bursting on trees, tadpoles swimming in the ponds and bluebells blooming in the woods - spring is definitely upon us. Here are some ideas to get out and about this spring.
	Just get outside and enjoy it. With free access to our woods, why not go and enjoy the warmer weather and the plants awakening from their winter rest?
	Do you want to know which tree is which, whether you are in a wood or walking through a town? Get some ideas and find out more about the trees themselves on the British Trees website.
	Have you seen any big fat ancient trees when you have been out and about - why not join the Ancient Tree Hunt? There are special FREE events across the UK to help you take the plunge or you could visit our website.
	If all the excitement of spring has got the creative juices flowing, Nature Detectives has just launched its art competition which this year is all about butterflies.
	Spring is also the time many turn to the garden and this April sees the first Ronseal Urban Gardens Week celebrating the contribution even the smallest gardens and window boxes can make to wildlife.
	You could make your own contribution to wildlife in your garden by planting a native tree, which you could have delivered to your door from the Woodland Trust native tree shop.

Or why not...
