Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether the forthcoming England Trees Action Plan will include targets, actions and funding to reduce differences in (a) access to the benefits of trees and (b) urban canopy cover.

The Trees Action Plan (TAP) is currently being developed. The TAP will set out actions to increase access to, and improving the resilience of England's trees, woodlands and forests. We remain committed to publishing the TAP by the end of 2026 as set out in the Environmental Improvement Plan 2025.
