This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want to support the planting of trees, but whether or not land is available for the planting of trees would be a matter for the landowner, and this may be a private individual or business, rather than a local authority.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Enshrine tree planting target in law: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552296

Establish a national tree-planting scheme for graduating students: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/554235

Create a programme to plant a tree for every baby born in England: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/560715

If you want the Government to take an action not covered by the above you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
