The 25 Year Environment Plan (25YEP) signals a step-change in ambition for the natural environment in England.
Creating/restoring 500,000 hectares of wildlife-rich habitat in England, as part of a Nature Recovery Network to protect and restore wildlife.
Government supports this in a number of ways. Their manifesto are committed to planting 11 million trees by 2022, and in addition a further 1 million trees in our towns and cities, and they also have a long term aspiration to increase woodland cover from 10% to 12% by 2060. To achieve these goals, in the Autumn Budget the Chancellor announced £10 million for an Urban Trees Challenge Fund and £50 million to help plant new woodlands through the Woodland Carbon Guarantee.
