New Forests for the UK

The Woodland Trust is planning to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee by planting 1 billion trees in February. Over half will be planted in a new Diamond Wood in Leicestershire and the others will be planted at over 60 locations around the UK. The new trees will help to offset carbon as well as creating homes for the UK's fauna and flora and providing open spaces for leisure users.
