Thank you very much. I completely agree with all the points that she made. I think the pandemic has shown us the connection to nature that taking an interest in your garden and planting trees can have, and I've certainly seen it in the case of my own garden.
If we are going to meet the challenge of climate change, as we've discussed in this Chamber in recent weeks, we need to significantly change things. And I think, done properly, getting people to plant more trees themselves can really start that journey of understanding a relationship with nature and the actions that each of us need to take in our own front yard and back yard as part of a broader set of behaviour change movements, and that is very much my intention.
We've announced some things today, and I hope that we'll be able to announce some more as the months go by.
