Carbon associated with thousands of trees planted in Nottinghamshire will be used to generate funding to reinvest in maintaining woodland creation sites to help meet the challenges facing the environment.
New wooded areas have been created at several sites as part of Nottinghamshire County Council’s ongoing drive to plant more trees to mitigate the impact of climate change.
Up to 250,000 trees have been planted across the county in the past five years through the Government-led programme Trees for Climate – delivered locally via the Greenwood Community Forest initiative hosted by the council’s conservation team.
