To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have a target for how many trees should be planted in England during the current Parliament; and, if so, what is the target.

We remain committed to the statutory target to increase tree canopy and woodland cover in England to 16.5% by 2050. We have announced a rapid review of the Environmental Improvement Plan and will introduce a new, statutory plan to protect and restore our natural environment and to deliver our ambitious targets to save nature.
