Reforest the UK.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Tree coverage in the UK is currently around 13% making it one of the lowest on earth. Let’s reforest the UK and help naturally fight climate change for the future. The government in 2017 pledged to plant 11,000,000 trees yet only managed 802,000 in 2016-17. Lets get planting!
