Nick Herbert praised the work of the Woodland Trust in preserving Britain's ancient woodland and encouraging the planting of new woods to benefit local communities, wildlife and the climate. Nick Boles emphasised how important the Woodland Trust was to Grantham, not just for its trees but for the jobs it provides local people.
