As forestry is a devolved matter this answer relates to England only.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is committed to accelerating new woodland planting and has a number of manifesto commitments to support afforestation in England, including the planting of eleven million trees and a further one million trees in our towns and cities by 2022.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government also has a number of schemes to support afforestation including the Woodland Creation Grant under Countryside Stewardship, the Woodland Carbon Fund, and the Woodland Creation Planning Grant.<\/p>

The Environment Agency responds to reports of pollution via its National Incident hotline. It also proactively identifies pollution to water bodies by carrying out targeted ecological and water quality monitoring.<\/p>

<\/p>

Monitoring under the European Union Water Framework Directive involves assessing the water environment for its ecological and water quality status. The River Thames currently has a Moderate rating, an improvement on the 2009 baseline. The next round of classifications are due to be released in 2019.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Environment Agency is in the process of updating the River Basin Management Plan which will develop further measures to improve the habitat, water quality and diversity of the river.

We are taking a range of actions to mitigate soil degradation caused by agricultural activities in England including through outcome-based cross-compliance soils rules and funding to protect soil through existing Environmental Stewardship agri-environment agreements and the Countryside Stewardship scheme. We introduced Farming Rules for Water in April which contain measures to protect soil including the appropriate application of fertilisers and the control of soil erosion.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s 25 Year Environment Plan sets out our ambition to replenish depleted soil and restore its fertility so that soils are managed sustainably by 2030. Future farming policy should incentivise sustainable farming practices that protect soil through our new system of public money for public goods.<\/p>
