A tree planting scheme has received £8.7m of government funding to expand the project as organisers celebrate planting more than two million trees.

The Forest for Cornwall scheme started in 2019 in a bid to help the county respond to climate change.

Cornwall Council said the money should help the authority reach its target of 8,000 hectares (19,768 acres) of "new tree canopy by 2035".

Incidentally doesn't Cornwall have a wealthy Duke? Maybe he could plant a few trees.
