Leeds City Council are planning to plant approximately 2,060 small saplings at a site in Pudsey – and local residents can have their say on the proposals
Leeds City Council Woodland Creation Team is planting 5.8 million trees across Leeds from 2020 to 2045.
This is to combat the climate and biodiversity emergencies, as well as contributing to the government’s targets to increase tree planting rates across England by 30,000 hectares per year by March 2025.
They have earmarked two sections of the Roker Recreation Ground in Pudsey for over 2,000 new trees, which they aim to plant this winter from November 2023 to February 2024.
People can have their say on the proposed planting here.
