19 Oct
Summary
- Over 109,000 trees planted, creating new woodlands.
- 1,200 volunteers contributed to woodland creation.
- Efforts support wildlife, climate change, and wellbeing.
In the past year, volunteers in Lancashire have planted over 109,000 trees, establishing new woodlands across the county. This significant undertaking saw more than 1,200 volunteers from diverse backgrounds contributing to this environmental effort.
The initiative has resulted in the creation of woodlands spanning an area equivalent to 154 football pitches. Additionally, 61 new orchards and 17 micro-forests have been established, enhancing local biodiversity and green spaces.
The Lancashire Woodland Partnership, a collaborative effort involving environmental groups, local authorities, and communities, is responsible for these plantings. Their goal is to strategically place trees where they offer maximum benefits for wildlife, people, and the environment.
This ongoing work not only supports wildlife and aids in tackling climate change but also contributes to improving people's well-being. The partnership is keen to engage more landowners, encouraging them to connect and explore opportunities for creating new woodlands and restoring habitats.
