Question
Will the Minister undertake discussions with Natural Resources Wales to establish whether the organisation is paying for trees to be grown by nurseries, and if so, whether some are being disposed instead of planted?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
Natural Resources Wales buys millions of trees from tree nurseries for restocking harvested woodland and creating new woodland on the Welsh Government Woodland Estate. There is no significant disposal of trees beyond business as usual variations in supply and quality.
