The South Yorkshire Forest lies at the heart of the economic and social life of South Yorkshire. New woodlands, accessible open spaces and outdoor recreation improve quality of life and provide an attractive backdrop for investment.

The South Yorkshire Forest Partnership is part of the National Community Forest Programme. It brings public, private and community organisations together to realise major environmental and economic regeneration, transforming the region’s post industrial landscape into accessible, sustainable, community-focused opportunities for health, recreation, cultural, educational, social and economic activity.
