More Trees, a UK-based charity dedicated to planting trees and protecting existing ones, has announced plans to expand its community nursery in order to grow, improve and diversify tree stock. The expansion will allow More Trees to grow more trees to meet the increasing demand for trees in the UK, improve the quality of trees grown, and diversify the range of tree species available.
The nursery expansion is part of More Trees’ ambitious goal to plant 10 million trees by 2030. The charity has already planted over 1 million trees since it was founded in 2011, and the nursery expansion will help it to reach its target even sooner.
The expanded nursery will be located on a 10-acre site in the Midlands, and will feature state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. The nursery will be able to produce up to 100,000 trees per year, which will be used to plant new forests, woodlands and hedgerows across the UK.
The new nursery will also be used to research and develop new tree species that are more resilient to climate change and pests and diseases. More Trees is working with a number of partners, including the University of Oxford, to develop new tree species that can be used to create more resilient and diverse forests.
The nursery expansion is a major step forward for More Trees, and will help the charity to achieve its goal of planting 10 million trees by 2030. The expansion will also help to improve the quality of trees grown in the UK, and diversify the range of tree species available.
More Trees is a registered charity (number 1168968) and is supported by a number of organisations, including the Woodland Trust, the National Trust and the RSPB.
