Northumbrian Water to plant moss trees to combat pollution
Pollution-absorbing moss trees could be used to help make towns and cities healthier places to live and work, as part of a new pilot project being carried out by Northumbrian Water.
The idea was brought forward at the water group’s NWG Innovation Festival, which took place last month and the utility firm is working with partners to identify a suitable site to plant some of the trees in the north east for a pilot scheme.
