Great Northumberland Forest
... that the Great Northumberland Forest is due to be planted from next year? "The Government pledged to plant one million new trees across the county" (Hexham Courant)"Planting is due to start in 2020 and will be completed by spring 2024." (Newcastle Evening Chronicle)- ALT1:... that to form the Great Northumberland Forest up to a million trees are due to be planted between 2020 and 2024?

new enough, long enough, sourced, copyvio check negative, hook in policy (I prefer ALT0). Two small issues: (1) QPQ pending, and (2) this source says it will be "up to" a million trees, and that it will be three forests. Onceinawhile (talk) 07:36, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Onceinawhile , thanks for your review. I've now carried out a QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/Ingalill Mosander. It's referred to as one forest but will initially be planted in three separate locations (the long term ambition is to join them up) eg. "To start an ambitious new Northumberland Forest, the Government has announced its commitment to create three new forests in the county" from the Environment Secretary's statement; I've edited the article to make this a bit clearer; you're right that the sources seem to be cautious over the million tree claim, I've caveated the hooks and article accordingly - Dumelow (talk) 07:30, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
