Volunteers plant 2,500 trees to restore Celtic rainforest in England

Volunteers in southwest England have planted over 2,500 native trees to help restore the Celtic rainforest. This initiative is part of a goal by the Devon Wildlife Trust to plant 7,000 trees by the end of winter. The project covers 75 acres and includes species like oak, birch, and hazel. Local community involvement has been key to the planting efforts. Celtic rainforests once covered much of the British Isles but now only make up 1 percent of the area. Similar restoration projects are also taking place in Cornwall, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
