We're planting 750 trees as part of the second phase of the Local Authority Treescapes Fund (LATF). Last year, we secured £300,000 in in funding, of which our Executive agreed to match fund.
The LATF aims to increase tree planting and natural regeneration in communities. The first-round of planting was in Barton-Le-Clay, Biggleswade, Leighton-Linslade and Sandy.
The second round of planting will focus on the following areas:
• Ampthill
• Arlesey
• Aspley and Woburn
• Biggleswade
• Caddington
• Cranfield and Marston Moreteyne
• Eaton Bray
• Flitwick
• Heath and Reach
• Houghton Conquest and Haynes
• Houghton Hall
• Leighton Buzzard North
• Northill
• Parkside
• Potton
• Shefford
• Silsoe and Shillington
• Stotfold and Langford
• Tithe Farm
• Toddington
• Westoning, Flitton and Greenfield
The funding will enable us to plant and maintain the trees for three years, with the aim to establish more trees in non-woodland settings such as riverbanks, hedgerows and footpaths.
The tree planting will be completed in line with this year’s tree planting season (now until March 2023).
