Freshly planted trees are also vulnerable to extreme weather, especially heat, and can perish without maintenance.
“This excellent tree planting work… supports our priority of protecting the environment, continuing to increase biodiversity and drive towards net zero,” said Councillor Morgan Rise.
The planted trees include hawthorn, blackthorn, sweet chestnut, oak, silver birch, sycamore, hazel, spindle and rowan, according to SHBC.
An orchard of 50 fruit trees, such as cherry, apple, pear, walnut and quince, was also planted at Windlemere, it added.
SHBC said the borough had the highest percentage of tree coverage in the country at 36.1%.
