The Woodland Trust hosts a reception at Westminster with Lord Hanningfield to celebrate woodland creation in Essex with the Essex Works Programme. This will provide 131,000 new trees in Essex and help the Trust create over 100 new acres of woodland near Elmstead Market.
Head of Government Affairs at the Woodland Trust, Dr James Cooper said: ‘Woodland helps achieve a better society for people and wildlife. As well as addressing contemporary challenges such as climate change, it inspires our imagination, creativity and sense of shared heritage. In Essex, the Woodland Trust and Essex Works Programme have worked in partnership to create new woodland and shape places where people want to live, relax and socialise.’
