Over the next 12 months, the Wild Ingleborough project will create around 40 hectares of new native woodland (WWF-UK/PA)
A “visionary” new environmental project in the Yorkshire Dales has been billed as a “blueprint” for landscape restoration ahead of the Cop26 climate summit later this year.
The partnership behind Wild Ingleborough says the scheme covering an initial 1,200 hectares around the second highest peak in the national park will be one of the first examples in England of re-establishing the natural tree line.
It said the project will see the restoration of peatlands and the expansion of native woodland and scrub which will remove and store carbon, helping to combat climate change.
