#reforestation #UK
"Hull’s green transformation continues to gain momentum as the Humber Forest project recorded the planting of 368,000 trees during the 2024–25 season — a 35% rise over last year. Spanning Hull, East Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire, this environmental initiative is part of the broader Northern Forest programme. With new woodlands, hedgerows, and urban greening efforts underway, the region is actively fighting climate change, improving biodiversity, and restoring natural resilience in flood-prone zones.
The Humber Forest project is rewriting the future of regional reforestation across Hull and its surrounding districts. Spearheaded by collaboration between local authorities, farmers, and environmental partners, this year’s planting of 368,000 trees marks a substantial leap from last year’s figures. Hedgerow additions stretched over 56 kilometres, while woodlands sprouted in Holderness, Crowle, and Hull’s Oak Road Playing Fields — transforming both agricultural landscapes and urban parks into eco-buffer zones. On flood-prone sites like Oak Road, trees are being used strategically to absorb rainwater, stabilise soil, and restore natural ecosystems. Experts involved in the planning note that the new green belts will also provide vital corridors for pollinators and native species. The community forest’s impact extends far beyond the environment: it supports jobs, enhances community wellbeing, and builds a model of nature-based resilience. Grant support covering up to 100% of costs has ensured that the planting push remains inclusive and accessible."
