Planting native trees in the UK provides a huge range of benefits, many of which are related to climate change. Carbon sequestration is one of those benefits, but planting trees will never be the answer to the current environmental crisis.

Creating new woodlands is symbolic of hope for the future, and of our commitment to changing our behaviour.
The message is simple: reduce your emissions, plant more trees.
