Sean Bean calls for a greener future - VIDEO
SEAN Bean is using his earthy Sheffield tones to call for more trees to be planted across the UK.
The city-born actor has recorded a personal commentary for a new video spearheading the Woodland Trust's campaign to double native tree cover.
Sean says woodland adventures during his Sheffield childhood left such a mark he has recently funded extra tree planting in Handsworth.
"I have been personally involved with tree planting back home in Sheffield and can see the benefits it brings," he says in the video.
"We want to see a doubling of native woodland, to help people, wildlife and the planet.
"That's an ambitious target and needs commitment from both Government and you.
"We need you, your organisation, school or community to get involved.
"Together we can help UK woodland flourish."
The video presents a scenic snapshot of why established woodland matters and the role played by the 11 million native trees planted by the charity in recent years.
Sean describes native woodland as lush, green, full of wildlife and intrigue which has inspired generations of artists, poets and writers.
