Tour Slindon Estate with Ray Mears and John Deakin, a behind the scenes film from the National Trust
Join Ray Mears, woodsman and TV presenter, and John Deakin, National Trust Head of Trees, as they explore the woods at Slindon Estate in West Sussex. You’ll discover what woodlands meant for our ancestors and how the National Trust is developing these green spaces for the future.
Ray investigates how our ancestors may have interacted with woodlands – how they would forage for leaves to eat, or identify whether an animal had rested under the lush canopy. He and John will also explain how the National Trust is restoring woodland at Slindon Estate, and how we work to protect young saplings from damage.
Working in harmony with nature is vital to the restoration and regeneration of woodlands like these. With your help, we’ve been able to plant and establish 200,000 trees over the course of a year. You can still donate to our Plant a Tree campaign via our website, which will go towards our goal of planting 20 million trees by 2030.

We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. Everyone can get involved, everyone can make a difference. Nature, beauty, history. For everyone, for ever.
