About this Event
Join White Rose Forest for a community planting day at Top O'Th' Hill and help continue the transformation of this beautiful hillside into a thriving woodland.
Every tree planted brings us one step closer to creating a richer home for wildlife and a greener future for the local area. It's a chance to get outdoors, meet like-minded people, and be part of something that will grow for generations to come.
Whether you've planted trees before or you're picking up a spade for the first time, everyone is welcome. No experience is needed. We'll provide the tools, guidance and plenty of encouragement throughout the day.
National Tree Week is the UK's largest annual celebration of trees, making this the perfect opportunity to get involved, enjoy some fresh air and be part of something bigger.
🌱 About the Day
Join us at Top O'Th' Hill, Walsden, where we're continuing work to create a new woodland that will support wildlife, improve the local landscape and deliver lasting environmental benefits for years to come.
Over the coming years, this growing woodland will provide valuable habitat for wildlife, help slow the flow of water, enhance the landscape and contribute to a healthier environment for future generations. By volunteering, you'll be helping this vision become a reality.
