More than 700,000 trees planted in Surrey
More than 700,000 trees have been planted in Surrey as the county council aims for 1.2 million saplings by 2030.
May 8, 2025
"In the past year, Surrey County Council said its initiative had created about 49,000 new trees and #hedgerows.
"This brings the total number of trees planted to 768,832 since 2019 – more than halfway to the county's target of planting one tree for every Surrey resident.
"A range of community projects have been supporting the challenge.
"Meanwhile, an orchard of 10 fruit trees was created at Goldsworth Park Medical Centre in #Woking as part of the #NHSForest scheme, which aims to transform green spaces within healthcare sites to improve health, #wellbeing and #biodiversity.
"Marisa Heath, Surrey County Council's cabinet member for environment, said: 'Trees play a vital role in enhancing the appearance of Surrey's green spaces, while also strengthening our climate resilience.
" 'We couldn't do this alone, so I thank all the partners, communities and residents who support this initiative. I encourage you to continue to do so to achieve our target for the benefit of our communities and future generations to come.' "

#CheshireUK - #Frodsham #rewilding: What happens when a #GolfCourse returns to #nature?
"A former golf course where top footballers once teed off is now home to badgers and foxes after being left to return to nature as part of a rewilding project.
"Frodsham Golf Course in Cheshire closed a few years ago and is now managed by the #WoodlandTrust, who hope to plant about 40,000 #NativeTrees.
"Site manager Neil Oxley says the area will become 'somewhere for people to see nature close to where they live'.

Bid to save early #rewilding site that hosts rare #nightingales and #TurtleDoves
#Conservationists have launched a £1.5 million appeal to buy #farmland that was left to #nature 37 years ago
by Emily Beament
Tuesday 18 June 2024"A farm left to nature years before 'rewilding' rose to prominence has become a unique and important site for wildlife, say conservationists launching a bid to save it.
"The owner of Strawberry Hill, near Bedford, stopped farming his land 37 years ago, with once-arable fields reverting to #scrubland that is now a haven for a host of #wildlife including threatened nightingales, #cuckoos and turtle doves.
"But the 150-hectare (377-acre) site has no official designations or protections, and following the owner’s death, there were fears the land could be sold and returned to agriculture.
"After gaining a temporary stay of execution for the site, the #WildlifeTrust for Beds, Cambs and Northants (#BCN) has raised enough money to buy half the land.
"Now the conservation charity is launching a £1.5 million appeal to secure the whole site, saving the habitat and its rich wildlife and providing a 'unique' opportunity to have a decades-long head start on rewilding the land for nature."
