Grab a spade and come along to Hayhills Farm Wood, near Silsden, to help us plant a thriving new community woodland.

Located in West Yorkshire, this new woodland is one of 10 Lloyds Banking Group woods. Tree planting is being funded through the Northern Forest Grow Back Greener programme, which is led by the Woodland Trust in partnership with White Rose Forest, with funding from the government's Nature For Climate Fund.

No experience of tree planting is required and all instructions will be provided on the day. Please bring a spade if you have one but we will have some available to borrow.

This is a free event but booking is essential. We have two planting sessions per day – one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Please book for the time that suits you.

Book for the 10am-12pm session.

Book for the 1-3pm session.
