The Forestry Commission and Natural England have a joint vision to create a more resilient, nature-rich and productive landscape.

To help meet these ambitions at a local level Kirklees Council is working towards increasing its tree canopy cover to 21% by 2050 and as a key partner of the White Rose Forest, this ambition aligns with the White Rose Forest Action plan 2021-2025 (a plan for 2025-2050 is due to be published in Autumn 2025).

It also supports wider council priorities relating to Clean and Green and the declared Climate Emergency including the Kirklees Environment Strategy

The planting of trees and creation of woodland can provide multiple benefits to an area and the communities that live there.

We are on the lookout for volunteers to help with our tree planting events over the next few months in Alomondbury (near Castle Hill). You can volunteer for one session or more.

LOCATION: Field off Clough Hall Lane, Clough Hall Lane, Almondbury Huddersfield HD4 6TE.
