Heartwood Forest is a planned forest (woodland creation site) in Hertfordshire, England.

The plans were set out in 2008[1] by the Woodland Trust to create the largest new forest of British native tree species of approximately {{convert|347|ha|acres}} in size.

The site, near Sandridge, St Albans in the Metropolitan Green Belt, was formerly agricultural land (predominantly oilseed rape fields), but also currently contains around {{convert|18|ha|acres}} of remaining ancient woodland, which are integrated into the new woodland.

On 9 December 2009, a Guinness World Record attempt was made for the 'BBC Tree O'clock ' scheme, in association with the Woodland Trust to plant the most new trees as possible in one hour, with three woodland sites making the attempt, the Heartwood Forest, Hainault Forest and Gransha Park. The previous record being 18,124[2] which was held by the Forestry Commission at a site in Scotland.[3] The Heartwood Forest site came second, with 20,326, being beaten by Gransha Park where they planted over 26,000 trees in the hour.[2][3].

The site was fully planted by March 2018, with 600,000 trees planted over a period of 10 years by around 45,000 volunteers. The site also contains wildflower meadows, walking routes and a community orchard.[6] There is also an arboretum containing all 60 native British tree species.[4] It officially opened on 25 March 2018.[5]
