Leicestershire County Council gave away 30,400 trees in a day last week as part of plans to boost planting.

Working with the Woodland Trust, the local authority offered free tree and hedgerow packs to any community groups, parish councils and schools with suitable publicly accessible land.

Each tree pack was made up of 50 native tree saplings, a mix of oak, wild cherry, crab apple, field maple and hazel, as well as tree guards and stakes.

The hedgerow packs contained 250 native trees and shrubs, which were enough to create a 50m-long hedge at five plants per metre.

Leicestershire aims to plant 700,000 trees – one for every person in the county.
