Humber Forest has planted a quarter of a million tress in the last twelve months, taking their three year total to 400,000 trees planted across East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

Funded by Defra (the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs), Humber Forest is one of 15 community forests across the UK established around some of the country’s largest towns and cities.

Community forests seek to provide a wealth of green space for people to enjoy whilst boosting the area’s biodiversity. These trees can play a vital role in reducing soil erosion and flooding, improving air quality, creating habitats for wildlife, and improving community spaces.
