Network Rail hopes to create 'beautiful green spaces that benefit people, wildlife and the planet both now and into the future'
Conservation charity The Tree Council will plant trees as part of a three-year project with Network RailIt said it will work with charity The Tree Council to plant 10,000 in the first 12 months and "many thousands more" over the next three years.But they will not be planted near lines after many were blocked by fallen trees during recent storms.
"By planting trees away from the operational railway on third-party land, where we create green spaces that local communities can access - it's a bit of a win-win." Sara Lom, CEO of The Tree Council, said she welcomed the pledge from Network Rail and hopes it will lead to new "beautiful green spaces that benefit people, wildlife and the planet both now and into the future".
