A new woodland area, which is about the size of 30 football pitches, is being created in Nottinghamshire.

About 15,000 plants and shrubs will be planted across 54 acres (22 hectares) in Upper Broughton in Rushcliffe as part of a project by the borough council.

The site will be called Rushcliffe Woods and is set to feature a new meadow area, paths for the public to use, and wetlands for local species and wildlife.
