More than 220,000 trees are to be planted in Carrickfergus through an ambitious afforestation project.
A report to Mid and East Antrim Borough Council says land at Woodburn Forest has been leased to the Woodland Trust to plant out 140 hectares and manage the site for 20 years.
Through the project, 1,600 trees will be planted per hectare, which would see 224,000 trees planted overall.
