Volunteers say that they have broken their records of the number of trees that were planted in a single day to restore forest land and to improve the biological diversity.

Great Avon Wood, which is located in the Chew Valley near Bristol, is a 113 hectare partnership project (46 hectares), in which Avon trees and the forest of Avon Trust are involved.

On February 23, the team planted 1,100 trees to create new hedges and expand the groundbreaking forest between Bristol and Bath.

The mixture of local trees would combat climate change, offer a crucial space for nature and combat the risk of increased flooding in the region, said those involved.

Avon needs trees is a charity organization that creates a new, permanent forest country in the entire catchment area of Bristol-Avon River to tackle the climate and natural emergencies.

Since 2023, more than 31,000 trees have been planted on the site, whereby a new hiking trail for Heritage Trail will be opened in the course of this year.

Different types were planted to ensure that the biological diversity thrives, including field hearts, hawthorn, white pastures, horn tree and hazelnut board.

The latest milestone event was enabled by a committed team of volunteers from the environmental directorate from the western England Combined Authority (Weca), which also contributed financially to the project.

Dave Wood, CEO from Avon needs trees, said they are “so grateful” for the support.

“Without them, transformative projects like Great Avon Wood and Lower Chew Forest would simply not be possible,” he said.

“This record -breaking plant day is proof of what we can achieve together and promotes ambitious plans for the recovery of nature in the region.”

With an overall goal of 35,000 trees, the large Avon Wood project will soon approach the finish line.
