More than 750 saplings have been planted across South Cambridgeshire as part of a zero-carbon initiative.

The 758 trees were planted as part of the district council's Six Free Trees Scheme, which was launched four years ago.

Parish councils are offered either one larger potted tree or six smaller whips. Most recently, 146 native saplings were planted by 45 parishes.

The aim is to provide wildlife sanctuaries, aid in climate change combat, and support the council's ambitions to double nature and reach net zero carbon by 2050.

Cllr Brian Milnes, lead cabinet member for the environment, said: "Trees are the lungs of our planet, and by distributing them at the local level, we empower communities to actively contribute to the preservation of our environment."
