The Welsh Assembly Government’s Plant! scheme is a key commitment in the One Wales document and is providing support for indigenous woodlands by developing a Welsh National Forest.
Every child born or adopted from 1 January 2008 will receive a certificate stating where their tree is planted.
It is estimated that 35,000 trees, or 30 hectares of new woodland, will be planted each year.
The first children to have a tree planted to commemorate their birth or adoption will start to receive their certificates in the post this week.
First Minister Rhodri Morgan said:
The birth or adoption of a new child is a very special occasion, and I’m sure that these certificates will be treasured for many years.The Plant! scheme is a win-win for us all, as it not only contributes to the regeneration of our native woodlands but also links children with the natural environment. As they grow older, they will be able to follow the progress of the site where their tree has been planted and appreciate the importance of protecting and supporting our native species of plant and wildlife.
How important to maintain the beauty of nature that we have, and hopefully our this generation will preserve it for many generations to come.
