History
The British and Irish Hardwoods Improvement Programme (BIHIP) was established in 1991 with the aim of improving and increasing the stock of hardwood trees in Britain and Ireland. It was renamed the Future Trees Trust in 2008. The Future Trees Trust arose out of an informal network of organisations and researchers established in 1991: the British and Irish Hardwoods Improvement Programme (BIHIP).
The Future Trees Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales, and Ireland. It is supported by a network of organisations, and has six species groups that lead research on: ash, birch, cherry, oak, sycamore, and walnut.
