<p>The Government is developing policies to increase tree planting at a national scale
and does not target particular constituencies.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed
to increasing tree planting across the UK to 30,000 hectares per year by 2025. The
challenges we face to achieve net zero require cross-party support, collaboration
with stakeholders and collective vision to mitigate and adapt to climate change. To
support this we have announced a new Nature for Climate fund, which will support tree
planting in England - our plans for this will be announced at the budget.</p><p> </p><p>The
Government currently supports tree planting and woodland creation through a range
of existing grant schemes. For example, the Urban Tree Challenge Fund, which plants
trees in partnership with local authorities and community organisations. We are working
hard to increase the uptake of existing schemes and strongly encourage eligible organisations
to do so.</p>
