More Trees, More Good is a new campaign from the Woodland Trust to encourage us to plant 20 million native trees a year for the next 50 years.

Nearly three quarters of the public surveyed recently agreed that we need to plant more trees. The UK is one of the least wooded countries in Europe with just half the average tree cover of our European neighbours.

Woodland Trust President, Clive Anderson launched the campaign today. He said, ‘The simple act of planting trees unleashes a host of benefits: in just 12 years they become beautiful woodland, home to a vast array of wildlife and places where children can play, adults reflect, birds and plant life flourish and communities come together. They lock up carbon, are a natural defence against flooding, provide shelter from the elements and offer a sustainable supply of eco-friendly fuel.’

From celebrities and businesses, to landowners, schools and individuals, the Woodland Trust is helping everyone to get involved in planting trees.

If you can't plant trees yourself, you can donate money for the Woodland Trust plant trees on your behalf. A donation of as little as £10 enables them to plant four trees, £50 provides a free tree pack to a school and £150 pays for a tree pack for a whole community to start their own wood.
