• Work with farmers and foresters to plant millions of native British tree species to better flood management.
• Ensure forests in public hands, all stay public owned.
• Research to end 5G needing to cut down mature woodland to get coverage.
No tree will be felled to gain 5G.
• Research tree shelters made from biodegradable wool, instead of plastic tree shelters, to protect young trees from grazing animals such as deer and the use of harmful herbicide sprays.
• Councils no longer cut down trees, but maintain / prune them.
Where already felled, reinstate them.
• Make law to have tree-lined streets for all new housing developments.
• Strip back HS2 high-speed rail line and use track ways to re-wild lost mature woodland and wild flower meadows, instead of HS1 and HS2 tracks, no longer needed.
• Maintain mature trees on railway embankments.
• Research organic ways to keep forests healthy, without pesticides.
• Communicate better with residents of private homes, if mature trees on their land have a tree preservation order on them.
