    Newcastle’s Town Moor could be part of a new community forest, if a bid is approved this summer.

    Trees are due to be planted at various locations across the north-east of England rather than being one continuous stretch of woodland.

    In total it's planned 500 hectares of new woodland would be created across sites in Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland, and County Durham by 2025.

    A number of places have been earmarked on the Town Moor and earlier this year 100 saplings were planted on Nuns Moor in a collaboration between the council, the Freemen of Newcastle, and military charity Walking with the Wounded.

    It is one of 12 spots across the moor where trees could be planted.

    Future planting sites are being discussed between Newcastle City Council and the Freemen who manage the Town Moor alongside the authority.

    The plans could lead to the capture of more than 155,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere a year across the North East.
