The UK government has announced the creation of the Western Forest, covering 2,500 hectares across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, and Bristol, with a goal of planting 20 million trees by 2050. This initiative is intended to meet environmental commitments, enhance biodiversity, and provide urban access to nature. The project will integrate tree planting into farmland using agroforestry practices, revitalizing existing woodlands, and supporting sustainable land management. Backed by £7.5 million in government funding, the initiative aims to improve wildlife habitats and strengthen local communities against climate-related challenges.
The creation of the Western Forest will promote biodiversity, support local communities, and combat the climate crisis by planting 20 million trees by 2050.
