Edinburgh aim to be a “one million tree” city by 2030, while Glasgow councils have plans to create the Clyde Climate Forest.

The new initiative hopes to increase urban tree cover from 16% to 20%.

EnglandSheffield in Yorkshire will invest the money into a new project called “Treevitalise” – clever, eh?!

They hope it will engage local communities in protecting and restoring woodland, boost the community forestry team, and protect trees outside woods.

Meanwhile, Wokingham in Berkshire is looking to plant more than 250,000 trees across the borough and three council areas across the East and West Midlands will share over half a million pounds to create more green spaces and community woodlands.
