Bucks Council's Climate plan is taking shape

The Council's Bucks Climate Challenge is taking shape, and they have agreed on plant to plant 534,000 trees, that's one for every man woman and child in Bucks. 

In a bid to achieve zero net emissions in the county by 2050,  Bill Chapple, the cabinet member for environment and climate change, spoke to us in the summer, on where they are planning on putting all the trees. 

"We've identified over 200 hectares across our council, we've found about 20 sites, but also in the South of the county trees are pretty dominant anyway, so we might try and find more places in the North."

He hopes that by having a tree planted after themselves, people living in Bucks will take more ownership and care over them.
