Forest

Enough trees are set to be planted to cover 35 football pitches in the first year, after receiving £480k in funding from Defra’s Nature for Climate Fund

A new study suggests human activity is becoming an obstacle to harnessing the full potential of peatlands in carbon sequestration

Parts of eastern and southern England could face the highest threat level several days a year, according to a new report

The project is forecast to sequester more than ten million tonnes of carbon dioxide over 20 years

A total of 134,000 trees are planned to be planted through the Urban Tree Challenge Fund

The investment is part of the Partnerships for Forests programme, which aims to help farmers restore a rainforest area equal to the size of 1,680 football pitches

The National Forest scheme aims to help Wales to meet carbon targets by absorbing the greenhouse gas from the air

Around 1,000 trees will be planted at the ”Carbon Sink and Learning Forest” which will be open to professors to conduct climate change research

It provided the trees to conservation charity Trees for Life, which is working to save Scotland’s ancient Caledonian Forest and the wildlife that lives in it

Acting as a carbon sink, these forests could potentially cut the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by about a quarter
