The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) commitment to the environment has blossomed as more than 1,500 trees have been planted in its virtual forest.
In January the WMCA launched a new website that allows authorities, residents and businesses to register trees they have planted. In fewer than two months, and with thanks to local organisations such as Birmingham Trees for Life, more than 1,000 trees across the West Midlands have been established.
The virtual forest was launched at the same time as #WM2041 which is WMCA’s plan to be carbon neutral by 2041. This ambitious target for the region will support the delivery of the government’s national target to be carbon neutral by 2050 while leaving no-one behind.
