The forest that the National Trust will create from this tree planting effort if all placed in one area would more than cover Manchester.
Given the amount of land under the national trusts care this move could potentially have occurred earlier, and well we should applaud them for this start there is much more that they could to reduce the carbon footprint of their properties, particularly as most of their properties are not serviced well by public transport and therefore there is a great deal of carbon used in travel to visit them.
