Tree Planting

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to help increase the number of trees planted.

Answer

We are investing over £1 billion this Parliament in tree planting and forestry - driving the highest planting rates in two decades.
