The Woodland Trust says nature is approaching crisis point in the face of a “barrage” of threats.
Preserving our natural habitat can help curb carbon emissions and reverse declines in wildlife numbers.

Ministers are planning for 30,000 hectares of trees a year to be planted by 2025 to help tackle climate change.
