Tree Planting

Bim with trees planted in Kimpton

As your local Member of Parliament, I am committed to improving local biodiversity. Trees can be an excellent addition to local biodiversity and they have been shown to have other benefits too, including reducing flooding and improving mental and physical wellbeing for local residents. I have been working with local Councils to plant thousands of trees right across the constituency and I will continue to work with Councillors and land owners to find new sites for extra planting.

Visit to Heartwood Forest

I visited the beautiful Heartwood Forest, on the edge of Sandridge, with representatives from the Woodland Trust. We are incredibly lucky to have almost 1,000 acres of beautiful woodland in our constituency.
