Government grants are awarded for creation of new woodlands
The Big Tree Plant funding scheme open for applications
"
The campaign - to plant one million extra trees across England in the next four years - was launched by Defra Minister Jim Paice in December and is the first government tree planting campaign since the 1970s. It will plant trees in urban areas that need them most, harnessing the Big Society to deliver benefits to local communities."
Trees improve air quality and provide wildlife habitat.
