273,700 government-funded trees planted in North West Leicestershire in eight years published at 12:58 British Summer Time 30 July 2019
There have been 273,700 government-funded trees planted in North West Leicestershire between 2010 and 2018, Forestry Commission data shows.
This works out at 2,734 trees per 1,000 people.
Between 2010 and 2018 the government funded about 15 million trees in England. Figures for trees planted with private funds or by local councils are not included and the data only covers new trees, not replacements for any that were cut down.
Overall tree planting rates across the UK would need to more than double to combat rising temperatures and climate change, according to official figures.
Last year 13,400 hectares of new trees were planted across the UK, most of them in Scotland, but the Committee on Climate Change says this should rise to at least 30,000 hectares a year.
Campaign group The Woodland Trust said more trees were needed to provide summer shade, reduce air pollution, improve water quality and manage flooding.
The government said it had made it "much easier" to apply for planting grants.
