<p>As part of the 25 Year Environment Plan, we provided a kick-start investment of
£5.7 million to support the Northern Forest Partnership (NFP) of the Community Forests
and the Woodland Trust. The partnership’s long-term ambition is to plant 50 million
trees across the North. Our initial investment is funding at least 1.8 million new
trees by 2022, and through further investment in tree planting in this parliament
we will go above and beyond that.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to work with the NFP to
identify, develop and implement delivery plans to ensure new trees are planted in
the places of greatest need and that these trees are well managed and maintained for
current and future generations to enjoy.</p>
