Tree Planting

Proceeding contribution from Chris Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 December 2016. It occurred during Debate on Tree Planting.

Even in The Guardian.

The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee has recognised the role of trees in mitigating flooding as part of natural flood management, and the EFRA Secretary of State recently announced a £19 million fund to plant trees, because of their contribution to locking up carbon. There are therefore many reasons

why we should plant trees. Most importantly, perhaps, our constituents are overwhelmingly in favour of more trees being planted.
