A project that is looking to restore woodland in the UK will be planting trees in Powys to celebrate the coronation.
9Trees.org who have started a number of woodland projects in Powys have said they will be “proudly commemorating the King's Coronation” by planting nine trees in every county of the United Kingdom – including Powys.
They have said that the coronation of King Charles III is a significant event that represents a new chapter in British history.

By planting these trees, Co-Founder and Director Michael Cunningham and his team are “honouring this historic occasion and showing their commitment to safeguarding the natural world for future generations.”
Mr Cunningham said: “We are proud to be part of this historic moment and hope that our efforts will contribute to the long-term preservation of Britain's natural heritage. We invite landowners across the country to join us in celebrating King Charles III coronation and help create a legacy that will last for generations to come.”
The trees will be planted at their Powys woods that they have begun to cultivate - Franklin Wood, Tawny Wood, Well-Spring Wood as well as Drover’s Rest.
The trees that will be planted include a variety of species, such as Rowan, Willow, Oak, Cherry, Hawthorn, Hazel, Field Maple, Hornbeam and Silver Birch.
Furthermore, landowners have the opportunity to choose native species that are suitable to their geographical area and can consult with 9Trees.org to ensure the chosen trees are best suited for the local ecology to ensure the growth of healthy trees that have a positive impact on the overall ecosystem.
Mr Cunningahm added: “Planting diverse native trees on private land can create areas for wildlife to flourish and increase biodiversity. This is not only beneficial for the environment but also adds value to the property. The trees serve as a carbon sink and increase air quality while also providing a beautiful landscape for the community to enjoy.
“This project is indicative of 9Trees’ commitment to creating a better future through environmentalism.
"By investing in this kind of work, the organisation hopes to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our planet and building a more vibrant and sustainable world for all.”
