The UK’s climate is changing. Trees, woods and forests play a key role in mitigating the effects of climate change. Placing woodland creation at the heart of any response will result in efficient and effective carbon capture, as well as a range of other benefits.

The ‘Responding to the climate emergency with new trees and woodlands’ leaflet has been produced to help local authorities and landowning businesses achieve net zero. It includes:

  • tips on creating and managing woodland
  • tips on reducing the use of non-renewable resources through wood and timber products
  • sources of further information on grant funding
