Trees are the natural sequesters of carbon in the atmosphere. Growing of trees is the first major solution to climate change and in line with this, Chichester District Council launched a rigorous project to plant trees as one of their Climate Emergency Action Plan.
Councillor Jonathan Brown, deputy leader and cabinet member for environmental strategy, said: "Since its launch in 2021, the Tree Chichester District scheme has gone from strength to strength and it's great to see such an impressive milestone reached.
“The 50,000 trees that we have helped to plant across our district will make a real difference in a number of ways.
“Not only will this boost in tree numbers improve biodiversity and connect woodland habitats, it will also enhance the local landscape and help to promote the physical and mental wellbeing of those living in our communities."
