Northamptonshire’s woodland figures all in the red.
Woodland cover in Northamptonshire is lower than the national average (7% compared to 10%), and just 5.8% of its population have access to a wood within walking distance - far less than the recommended 15%.
Worse, 19 ancient woods have come under threat in the last 10 years – five of which have already been lost or damaged. Action is needed.
