🌳(1/6) We’ve joined the @forestryclimate partnership to work towards a future where the UK’s new and existing #woodlands are resilient to #ClimateChange and can provide for people and #wildlife.

Learn more about how we are playing our part in helping woods adapt below⬇️ 🌳(2/6) When it comes to climate change, it’s clear that native #woods and #trees are critical to tackling the climate crisis.

They lock up carbon, reduce pollution and flooding, and support people and wildlife.

New research predicts that there could be 2,000,000 ancient, veteran and notable trees across the whole of England!🌳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #LivingLegends bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… The #AncientTreeInventory maps the distribution and condition of ancient and #VeteranTrees across the UK.

So far it holds more than 180,000 records, yet this may account for less than 10% of the nation's oldest trees.

New #woodland statistics published by the @ForestryComm cast further doubt on the Government’s ability to halt nature’s decline by 2030🌳

Our first thoughts: 1/4 The Government committed to plant 30,000 hectares of #woodland from 2019 to 2024, but it's lagging behind, by a lot. So far it's taken them *three years* to plant 7,150ha, with just 1,980ha planted last year.

And they plan to be planting 30,000ha A YEAR from 2024.

🧵Today is #CleanAirDay.

#AirPollution not only impacts human health but also the health of our woods and trees. Addressing air pollution is vital to protect and restore our ecosystems🌳

We are deeply shocked and upset to learn that @HS2ltd felled the #CubbingtonPearTree today. There is no replacing the centuries of history and beauty that this tree has given to the Cubbington area. Our sympathies go out to local people and all tree-lovers.

Read on 👇 Voted as our Tree of the Year in 2015, this 200 year old tree is a much loved local landmark. Ourselves and our supporters, as well as many other local campaigners, had lobbied for the tree to be saved.

Today’s #HS2 announcement shows that our expert opinion, that of other NGOs, and the concerns of the public worried about the destruction of the irreplaceable habitat, has been utterly disregarded. Some 61 #AncientWoods along the #HS2 route are earmarked for total or partial destruction while a further 47 will suffer damage from noise, vibration, light, and pollution. woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-tre…
