Trees

Read and sign our open letter calling for the Prince Charles' Duchy of Cornwall estate and the Church Commissioners to plant more trees on their land.

Major landowners, like the Church Commissioners and the Duchy of Cornwall, must use their estates to grow more trees and fight the climate crisis

The government has launched a public consultation on a strategy for trees and woodland in the UK. Find out how you can influence the strategy.

The government has launched a consultation on a new tree strategy, setting out policies to expand tree cover in England.

Provisional woodland statistics for 2020 have revealed little to no progress has been made on improving vital tree cover across the UK.

If we’re going to tackle climate breakdown, we need more trees. A whopping 72% of UK land is currently used by farmers for food production, but combining trees with farming gives us the option to suck carbon out of the atmosphere, and make farming more profitable, productive, and sustainable. Campaigner Nick Rau explains.

Friends of the Earth is concerned that the policy being launched at this time means that it will not get the scrutiny and attention it needs.

Westminster’s strategy for creating more woodland has a huge imbalance. It’s failing to do nearly enough in England, while leaving Scotland to do the heavy lifting.
