Trees
There is only 12% of woodland coverage in the UK compared with 44% overall in Europe. Woodland cover has increased in the last 100 years but much of this consists of non-native species and this is giving rise to a decline in wildlife. The Woodland Trust says "Woods and trees are vital for a healthy, happy society. They lock up carbon to fight climate change, improve our health, well being and education, reduce pollution and flooding and support people, wildlife and livestock."
While not many have space to create a wood but can make use of space in our own gardens. We list a wide range of trees from native species to highly ornamental non-natives, those which stay relatively small to ones which get enormous. If you do not have a lot of space planting in a hedge or against a wall or fence may be an option. We do have container grown trees available all year but planting bare root is far more economical and often you will end up with a better tree.
