The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department is taking steps to help support the Thames Chase Community Forest.

Answered by Mary Creagh

England's Community Forests are delivering the multi-million-pound national Trees for Climate programme, playing a significant part in the national Government's commitment to address climate change and carbon mitigation through tree planting and woodland creation. We are supporting England’s Community Forests through the provision of funding to create woodland in areas of social and canopy deprivation.
