The North of England is banding together to plant 50 million new trees, in a project that will transform our landscape as we know it. Named The North Forest, the project will be found in and around the cities of Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester and Chester.
Nick Sellwood, who leads the trust’s Northern Forests team, said the achievement was “nothing short of remarkable. There are now thousands more trees in cities, in the countryside – and in more inhospitable places high up in the Pennines.”
