A serious situation for England's treed spaces and wooded landscapes.
A shocking gap has been discovered in the grants programme that enables landowners, conservation groups, communities and local authorities to plant trees and create new woods.
After 2014 there will be no new grants available, for at least 2 years. There is no clarity as yet on what might happen after 2016.
The Woodland Trust is demanding that Defra unlock funds to provide interim funding measures as a solution to this serious problem. The good news is that the Government already recognises the enormous benefits trees and woods provide - we should be knocking on an open door. Especially with the weight of all our supporters behind us!
