South Downs national park has announced that over 28,000 trees are being planted across the South Downs in memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth as a hopeful new report reveals the huge potential to fight climate change with woodland creation.
This comes as National Tree Week (26 November – 4 December) is getting underway. Scores of trees are going into the ground at more than 30 sites across the South Downs National Park. Last winter over 12,000 trees were planted at the park, with a further 16,000 this coming winter, as part of the Trees for the Downs and Queen’s Canopy initiative.
