Gorpley Reservoir woodland creation project - Planting the Northern Forest

We're working in partnership with Yorkshire Water and the National Trust as part of a pilot project for the White Rose Forest’s Landscapes for Water programme. 100,000 trees have been planted at the Gorpley Reservoir in West Yorkshire, creating 63.2 hectares of community woodland. We're excited to start bringing the White Rose Forest and wider Northern Forest to life. The tree planting is part of a wider habitat improvement scheme, covering 104 hectares in total. The scheme will also see moorland restoration, Natural Flood Management which will include turf/willow dams, peat bog/heathland habitat restoration, and pond formation. We're working with specialists to help us design the scheme, as well as local community groups. If you'd like to get involved in the Northern Forest and plant on your land, visit https://thenorthernforest.org.uk/ A big thank you to our funders as well. Funding includes DEFRA Countryside Stewardship £470,524 and additional support from Yorkshire Water and the National Trust. The Natural Flood Management interventions were paid through a grant from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority – Local Growth Fund, totalling £440,000. #NorthernForest #WhiteRoseForest #WestYorkshire
