1/9 First, a look at hedge planting numbers. We used @NaturalEngland data for planting and gapping-up in public schemes (#CountrysideStewardship &co)

πŸ‘‰ 5265 km of hedges have been planted in 2004-2022
πŸ‘‰ 2.6 times as many hedges were planted in 2019-2022 compared to 2004-2018 Image
2/9 But we need to plant more! To be exact, we need +193,000β€―km in England to meet the goal set by @theCCCuk for #NetZero

How much CO2 would be stored in these new hedges?

at @SoGLeeds we measured aboveground #biomass carbon stock and sequestration in hedges of different ages Image
