Tree planting in Northern Ireland is too slow to meet legally binding targets and thousands of residents are living in "tree poor" neighbourhoods, according to the Woodland Trust.

The organisation's latest 'State of The UK's Woods and Trees: Northern Ireland' report finds the failure to meet tree planting targets is putting climate action, nature recovery and community wellbeing at risk.

Less than 20% of the 2030 target for new woodland has been planted between 2020 and 2024.
