Arboriculture: Environment Protection

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the role of arboriculture in achieving the UK’s environmental targets.

Answer

Arboriculturalists continue to support the delivery of the England Trees Action Plan, from the delivery of tree planting in urban areas to supporting local tree and woodland strategies. We have significant ambitions to increase woodland cover in England and bring trees closer to people, and welcome the role of arboriculture, alongside agriculture, horticulture and wider forestry sectors, in enabling that.
