Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether proposals under the Northern Forest scheme will include any rewilding schemes.
This question was answered on 8th October 2019
As part of the 25 Year Environment Plan, the Government is providing £5.7m to support the existing Northern Forest (NF) partnership of the Community Forests and the Woodland Trust to accelerate the development of the NF. This four-year kick-start investment will fund the planting of at least 1.8m new trees across the NF by 2022.
Our investment is provided to accelerate tree planting and woodland creation.
