The National Trust has planted a staggering 375,000 trees across North Devon over the past five years, in a sweeping drive to combat climate change and boost biodiversity.

The project is part of the charity’s wider ambition to establish 20 million trees across the UK by 2030, aiming to create habitats for wildlife, lock up carbon, and offer green spaces for people to enjoy.

During the 2023/24 season alone, the North Devon team more than tripled their target, planting 101,000 trees and bringing their running total to 210,000 since 2020. Sites at Arlington Court, Woolacombe, West Exmoor and Hartland saw tens of thousands of trees planted, with species including oak, hazel, hawthorn, birch, rowan and crab apple carefully chosen to suit each location.
