Happy International Day of Forests! Did you know that forests are home to 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, and provide livelihoods for over a billion people? Our EU's biodiversity strategy for 2030 aims to plant at least 3 billion additional trees by the end of the decade – a crucial step in the fight against climate change and the loss of biodiversity. Let's all do our part to protect and restore our forests for the sake of our planet and future generations. 🌳🌲 #ForestDay

Have you ever planted a tree or contributed to a tree planting initiative in any way? If so, how many have you planted or contributed to? #ForestDay #EUGreenDeal

@EU_Commission I took part in an event during the "Plant A Tree in (19)73" campaign.In later years, I grew about two dozen oak tree saplings from acorns - some of them I planted out in the wild, the rest I gave to friends and family to plant in a place of their choosing.

@EU_Commission @Philsturgeon this one’s for you. Or maybe not. Maybe the rest of us could add up to match you.

@EU_Commission And if Forests are so valuable, can we please have a EU-wide, complete ban on wood burning, ASAP?

@EU_Commission Everywhere in EU, big companies are razing hectares of perfectly fine woodland — a common heritage for all of us — be it for burning, for building large factories for their own profit or for building roads we don’t need.It doesn’t matter if private persons, with spend their limited resources for planting, 1, 5, or 500 trees — on the scale of for-profit razing, it makes *zero* difference. If you truly believe what you write, stop this by EU-wide policy, NOW!

@EU_Commission I have and apple, a pear and a Japanse cherry tree here. I am up for debate whether or not my Lilac is a tree, and the Buddleja globosa is technically a shrub, but it's now well over 5 meters high and the 2nd largest plant in the garden. Also I have planted an apple tree in my mum's garden, and grew two giant redwoods from seed that, to the best of my knowledge, have been planted in woodland gardens

@EU_Commission I have cut down trees. A tree tried to cut down me. I have to cut down a lot more trees, but I think I better hire someone to do that.

@EU_Commission I guess the number of trees I've either planted by hand, grown from seed for someone else to plant, or paid to have planted must be in the high hundreds, and in cooperation with others in the thousands. It's never enough.

@EU_Commission forests are wonderful places. Save them if you can. And be aware of what is happening in the rainforests. They are reaching a critical point.

@EU_Commission yes: everywhere I’ve lived, with one exception, we planted at least one tree. So that’s…at least 24 trees on 3 continents. One of the best parts is planting trees with children, then going back years later, and the tree is big! Beautiful! Like the child! If you have a child, or are an auntie or uncle or friend, plant trees together. Take a photo of the child near the new tree(s); then plan to return in two decades. #trees #planttrees #EarthFriendly

@EU_Commission I have planted ten fruit trees from various sources. This year, I am trying to grow sweet chestnut, hazel and walnut from seed. I am also trying to germinate some pippin apples. When I weeded a raspberry bed, I found lots of oak saplings and 'guerilla planted' them in vacant land nearby.

@EU_Commission the low number of respondends says it all. You wanted to reach 330 Million but only 850 replied.55% of those planted 3 or more, but they can easily be all professionals.
