England to plant half a million trees in three years
Original: Half a million trees to be planted in England in three years, says government
The UK government has announced plans to plant half a million trees across England over the next three years. The scheme is being billed as part of efforts to boost woodland cover, support wildlife and help tackle climate change. Environmental groups are likely to scrutinise whether the targets will be met, given past shortfalls in tree-planting commitments.
Why now: A new government tree-planting commitment has just been announced, drawing attention to England's reforestation and climate policy.
