A council in Northumberland has launched a project aimed at planting and showcasing trees in the community.
On 26 June, Ovington Parish Council officially launched the Ovington Trees Project, including a website, walking guide, and map.
Nearly 4,000 trees have been planted, along a five-mile 'linear arboretum'.
The project has been realised in partnership with 11 landowners, the county council, charities, and more than 100 volunteers.
The project aims to increase overall tree stock in the area and as a result increase biodiversity.
It is also hoped that the extra trees will lead to greater carbon sequestration in a village with a comparatively high carbon footprint for its size.
Throughout the project, the team have aimed to use local suppliers and engage the local community.
The project came about after it was established that 60 per cent of the free standing trees in the parish were ash and nearly all of them had evidence of ash dieback disease. An independent ecologist recommended urgent planting of a wider variety of trees.
