| TREES/ REWILDING | Tree Planting | Large numbers of trees should be planted as one of the Council’s climate change emergency activities Tree planting is capital spending as the planting of an individual tree is non-recurrent cost. As part of North Somerset Council’s rewilding project, many small whips were planted but relatively few have survived the rushed handling by volunteers. I feel that more mature specimens should be planted by professionals. Larger trees will make a more significant contribution to carbon capture and the use of professionals will ensure more effective use of funds. If we can't have a pool then how about replacing the trees lost in recent storms, but with good sized specimens not saplings, would also tick Queen's P Jubilee tree planting box 1) Plant more trees all round the town or replace where these have been blown down following recent storms - these will also help camouflage the rear view of the Churchill retirement block | Wide road verges and other green spaces within the town e.g. Pound Lane. All over Nailsea | The Council has declared a climate emergency. Tree planting is one of the few effective contributions that the council can make to countering this emergency. | Further funding may be available from The Queen’s Green Canopy.
