The West of England has beaten off stiff competition to become home to a brand-new National Forest. 20 million new trees will be planted in the Western Forest by 2050, because, says Mayor Dan Norris, "of our impressive record of success in planting trees locally, our excellent partnership working, and the huge scale of our ambition." One his first actions as Mayor back in 2021 was to launch the West of England Tree and Woodland Strategy setting ambitious targets to increase tree planting. Since then, the Mayoral Combined Authority has backed the Great Avon Wood and Lower Chew Forest, which the Mayor says have been "fantastic building blocks for today's success."
