In Devon, a wildlife conservation organization is establishing a 300-acre (120-hectare) "future-proof" woodland.
The existing 90 acres (36 hectares) of woods at Wembury Barton Farm, close to Plymouth, will be expanded by 210 acres (84 hectares) over the next three years, according to the National Trust.
There are about 25 native tree species being planted, mostly oak.
According to managers, the trees selected gave the woods "the best chance" of surviving diseases and climate change.
The planting of 90,000 trees would transform the area into a haven for wildlife and benefit the larger community by giving people "the chance to get involved with and love the nature near where they live," according to the trust. .
In addition, the trust was planting nearly 2.5 miles (4 km) of new banks and hedgerow as part of what it described as its first significant community woodland in Britain. .
The trust claimed that the diversity of species gave the woods its ability to withstand climate change and any potential tree diseases by placing "the right trees in the right place.".
"We are in the midst of a biodiversity and climate crisis and need to do everything we can to provide more space for nature and store carbon across all National Trust land," John Deakin, head of woodlands at the trust, continued. ".
"This project is a fantastic example of ambition put into action, providing long-term benefits for people and nature and significantly advancing the trust's goal of establishing 20 million trees on our property by 2030 in order to achieve a carbon net zero target.
