To address the Climate Emergency we need more trees. Trees do not have enough protection and there is little or no effort to reforest. Medway Council/previous governments, with their obsession for building, have allowed swathes of woodland to be removed and replaced with housing.
In Walderslade, in summer I notice that the temperature showing on my car drops by 3 or 4 degrees Celsius when driving through the area of woodland around Boxley Road. Trees and woodland are essential for adapting to climate change and capture carbon. So increase and enhance our woodland! Turn countryside into woodland, not housing!
