Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether indicators of progress for tree planting, canopy cover, ancient woodland condition, tree survival and biodiversity for the Oxford–Cambridge Forest will be published annually.

Forest Research publishes Forestry Statistics annually and these include comprehensive data on woodland creation, canopy expansion, species mix, and sustainability trends across England and the UK. These national reports provide an important context for progress on tree planting and canopy cover, complementing more detailed project monitoring undertaken by the Nature for Climate Fund.
