COUNCIL bosses have unanimously agreed to set specific tree planting targets in the Braintree district which could include new community woodlands. The motion, put forward by the Green and Independent Group, asked the council to implement specific targets for the number of trees to be planted in the district. It comes after pledges made by Essex County Council to plant 375,000 trees by 2024 with the aim to plant a million new trees by 2030 across the county. Woodlands which have already been a success were highlighted, such as Molly’s Wood in Sible Hedingham – a 10-acre nature reserve started by the late Ronnie Green, who named the woodland after his wife.
