woodland

In February 2003 9.4 per cent of Stoke-on-Trent was covered by trees. Since then more than 60,000 new trees have been planted by the New Leaf Woodland Initiative. The city’s woodlands provide an important home to plants and animals, places for people to enjoy trees and act as our ‘green lungs’.
