P-04-537 Planting Trees to Reduce Flooding
This
petition was submitted by Coed Cadw, having
collected 2,708 signatures.
Petition wording
We call on the
Welsh Assembly to urge the Welsh Government to reduce flood risk to thousands
of homes across the country by supporting the planting of at least 10 million
trees over the next 5 years, creating hedges, tree belts and wooded areas
targeted where they will best help soak up rainfall and slow down water
runoff. This tree planting will count
towards the 100,000 hectare tree planting target the Welsh Government has
already set, to soak up C02 from the atmosphere.
