Recommendation 26
26
Paragraph: 140
Woodland creation benefits for net zero and nature recovery vary significantly by context.
Conclusion
Delivery of the Government’s net zero and nature recovery targets depends on wide- scale woodland creation. The amount of CO absorbed, the levels of biodiversity 2 supported and other benefits or negative effects of woodland creation are all highly variable, depending on where and how woodland is established, the tree species present, site conditions and management.
