Fresh tree and peatland action plans expected from Defra tomorrow, as Royal Family announces tree planting project to mark Queen s 70th Jubilee
Higher tree planting targets, a ban on peat-based garden compost, and corridors for biodiversity protection next to rivers are among a flurry of conservation measures expected to be unveiled by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) tomorrow, reports suggest.
Environment Secretary George Eustice is set to announce plans to treble tree planting rates in England over the course of the current Parliament to around 7,000 hectares of woodland per year, in a bid to boost biodiversity and support the UK s net zero emissions goal, according to Defra.
