Central Beds Council: More woodland sites in the pipeline for Central Bedfordshire

Date Added: 02/12/2022

We have been awarded £140,000 of Woodland Creation Accelerator Funding to create and expand woodland sites in the area.

The government funding will enable us to extend our extensive array of tree-planting initiatives that support our ambitious sustainability agenda.

More woodland areas will further enhance biodiversity in Central Bedfordshire and form part of a concerted response to the climate change crisis.

We recently announced five Tiny Forests will be planted in the area this planting season from October to March. The size of a tennis court, these dense fast-growing native woodlands are planted, without using chemicals or fertilisers, to improve areas of urban tree population and help connect communities to nature in their area.

Other tree planting continues with the Tree Planting Grant and Tree Giveaway initiatives available to community groups, businesses and residents.

Last planting season the Tree Giveaway pilot saw over 300 trees planted in people’s back gardens. So far, the Tree Planting Grant has supported the planting of over 18,500 trees and 3km of hedgerows.
