Rejected petition For every tree cut down by HS2 a new tree will be planted in the local area

Many trees and plants that have been up rooted and cut down due to HS2. Habitats have be devastated and our carbon dioxide levels are rising. If we can replace every tree that has been taken down we can create more beauty and slowly rebuild our all important carbon capturing woodlands!
