Government pledges half a million trees for England
Original: Half a million trees to be planted in England in three years, says government https://www. theguardian.com/environment/2
The UK government has announced plans to plant half a million trees across England over the next three years. The pledge, announced by environment minister Angela Eagle, forms part of wider efforts to expand woodland cover and address the climate crisis. Environment groups and commentators are weighing in on whether the target is ambitious enough given the scale of England's reforestation needs.
Why now: A new government tree-planting pledge on climate grounds is drawing attention amid ongoing debate over UK environmental policy.
