Landowners in Northumberland who saw their woodlands devastated by one of the worst storms in living memory are set to benefit from new Government funding to help restore some of the damage.
Storm Arwen battered the county in November 2021, causing widespread power outages and felling thousands of trees, with the worst affected areas in the north and on the coast.
Now, councillors have backed £1.5 million funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) that will enable the team behind the Great Northumberland Forest to support landowners to 'restore and enhance' around 300 hectares of damaged woodland across the county.
