Relax and Explore the UK's Temperate Rainforest with us
Did you know that there are rainforests in the UK?
Join us as we take a relaxing adventure through one of the United Kingdom's temperate rainforests - an enchanting and rare ecosystem that’s full of life and natural beauty.
British temperate rainforests are of global importance, home to a wide range of flora and fauna, and having the greatest concentration of oceanic lichens and mosses in Europe.
Plantlife is working to protect the long-term future of these rare habitats. We're working across the South West to help 21 species of lichens and mosses as part of the Species Recovery Project in partnership with the National Trust and the Woodland Trust.
Whether you're interested in conservation...

    Superb! I've been making meadows for over forty years and I learnt a lot from your presentation. It confirmed many things that I had suspected Now we can all see & say " is there any reason NOT to make species rich meadows FULL of flowers !" Next to tackle cornfields and reintroduce the poppies, cornflowers, corn marigolds etc I know already that they do NOT impact whatsoever on crop production quantities

    I'm from the US and needed this education. I hadn't given a great deal of thought to the agricultural side of the UK. I've just been thinking and researching native plants for my own land. The notion that 97% of native meadows are gone or endangered is alarming. I'm wondering what your pollinator situation is?

    As a teacher in countryside South Korea, I wonder if our school forest classifies as a temperate rainforest. Alison's lecture is eye-opening. The bark ph table is very helpful. I only wonder: what type of rainforest do you have in mind ? Is holly not to be expected in a British rainforest (as rhododendrons are in Korea) ? In our school forest (37 years old, Quercus mongolica dominant, rich shrub flora, lots of vines) there would be another management issue, slowly-decomposing leaf litter (Q. mongolica, Zelkova serrata).
