The @Whiteroseforest partnership is developing the long-term plan to guide tree planting and management in North and West Yorkshire over the next 25 years. We're inviting everyone to help shape the plan and #Haveyoursay by 28 January via this short survey: online1.snapsurveys.com/wrfp
Thank you to @Waterman_group and @KirkleesCouncil for running and hosting a training course for the @whiteroseforest team on Biodiversity Net Gain and how it can be used to better manage woodlands for wildlife

Another visit to @Broughton_Hall to check on over 330ha of diverse woodland and wood pasture, supported by @whiteroseforest. Exciting times ahead as this site continues to develop into a fantastic community woodland! 🌳🌳🌳
Recently had a stunning walk at @TheDalesNT Tarn Moss. Incredible mix of woodland and peatland. Has to be one of the best places to visit in the @yorkshire_dales

We're working closely with the @nationaltrust and @YorkshireWater to fund and plant trees through our #TreesforClimate programme that will benefit habitats, wildlife and communities in the South Pennines.
An exciting week for Marsden Moor and our Landscapes for Water project. Tree planting will begin on Pule Hill, bringing new woodland, habitat and health to its iconic slopes. See more on community planting days and guided walks at nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/y…

The ancient oak trees of Calverley Woods play a vital role in our region, removing pollutants from the air!
A fascinating start to the week learning all about them with @whiteroseforest.

We're working with @NationalTrust and @YorkshireWater on this important project in the South Pennines that will contribute to the White Rose Forest and help us achieve our aim of increasing tree cover across North and West Yorkshire.
Two of Yorkshire's largest landowners, the National Trust and @YorkshireWater, have launched a major project to restore a huge area of land in the South Pennines. Find out more about this project and sign up for one of our public meetings here; nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/y…

Long Lands Common is a community owned nature reserve in the Harrogate and Knaresborough area. Local volunteers are doing great work to preserve and improve this area of greenbelt land that was historically part of the ancient Royal Forest of Knaresborough. #longlandscommon
