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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to mark the 800th anniversary of the Charter of the Forest.

We recognise the significant environmental, economic, and societal benefits that trees provide, with planting more trees at the heart of our work to protect the environment for future generations.

Looking to the future, we remain committed to being the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than we found it and we will deliver this through an ambitious 25-year environment plan.

The government made no specific plans to mark the 800th anniversary of the Charter of the Forest.
