The UK's Tree Planting Taskforce was launched on 28 November 2024 to oversee the planting of millions of trees, aiming to meet net zero targets and enhance woodland resilience. Its key objectives include improving cross-nation collaboration, sharing best practices, and addressing barriers to tree planting. The UK is allocating up to £400 million for tree planting and peatland restoration over 2024 - 2026 to support the UK’s broader goal of increasing tree cover, including a legal target of 16.5% in England by 2050.
