Free trees to be offered to every household
All homes in Wales will be offered a free tree to help tackle global climate change.
The initiative will give people the chance to choose a tree of their own to plant or opt to have a tree planted on their behalf.
The first trees will be available to collect in March next year, from one of five regional community hubs to be established with plans to set up a further 20 hubs by October 2022.
Speaking last week at the Coed Cadw woodland creation project in Neath during National Tree Week, Natalie Buttriss, Coed Caww, the Woodland Trust in Wales Director said, “We are delighted to be working with the Welsh Government in this great community tree giveaway to get thousands of native trees in the ground.
“While tree-planting is only one way to help tackle climate change, it is a simple and enjoyable way for every single person in Wales to have the chance to plant a tree and watch it grow.
“This project will be open to all types of people living in Wales and we hope it will inspire many individuals and local community groups to become involved.”
