Monmouth MS praises thousands of trees planted in Torfaen
Peter Fox, member of the Senedd for Monmouth, praised the planting of 8,500 trees in the Torfaen area in a plan known as 'The Branching Out Project.'
This was done in a joint effort by Bron Afon and Torfaen Council.
The plan involved planting thousands of trees, saplings, whips, and shrubs across the county.
These have all been planted on council-owned land, on the grounds of local schools, and in parts of Bron Afon's land.
Regarding the plan, Mr Fox said: "I commend the efforts of those involved in this scheme, that has seen so many trees planted.
"It will go a long way in enhancing our communities, and brightening up the environment for us all to enjoy.
"I hope that other local authorities in Wales, especially Monmouthshire, will look on this and enact a similar scheme."
