PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(28 January 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many trees have been planted by Highways England in each year between 2014 and 2024; and what the cost to the public purse was of this work.

Asked by:
Nick Timothy (Conservative)

Answer

National Highways (NH) does not keep a central record of the number of trees they have planted across England in any given year. However, as outlined in their ‘Net zero highways: our 2030 / 2040 / 2050 plan’, NH aims to plant at least 3 million trees by 2030 (in addition to the trees planted as ‘essential mitigation’ for projects).
