Avon Needs Trees (ANT) Bristol based Avon Needs Trees is a registered charity (1184386) that is buying land throughout the Bristol-Avon catchment area to reforest it. Planting trees will sequester carbon from the air, enhance biodiversity and provide natural flood management, as well as water and air quality improvement, and more public amenity space. |
