Thank you to @Waterman_group and @KirkleesCouncil for running and hosting a training course for the @whiteroseforest team on Biodiversity Net Gain and how it can be used to better manage woodlands for wildlife

[Matthew Snelling @MattSnelling11]

Another visit to @Broughton_Hall to check on over 330ha of diverse woodland and wood pasture, supported by @whiteroseforest. Exciting times ahead as this site continues to develop into a fantastic community woodland! 🌳🌳🌳

[Matthew Snelling @MattSnelling11]

Recently had a stunning walk at @TheDalesNT Tarn Moss. Incredible mix of woodland and peatland. Has to be one of the best places to visit in the @yorkshire_dales

[Matthew Snelling @MattSnelling11]

@AliDriverUK @Broughton_Hall Unbelievable! Has it been hanging around or a fleeting visit?

Can't wait to be leading free community nature walks later this spring at Broughton Sanctuary @Broughton_Hall estate near #Skipton. Will be squeezing moth trap checking, a wildlife walk through the rewilding area and pond dipping into a packed 2 or 3 hrs. https://t.co/wv7xQM8yBj

[The White Rose Forest @whiteroseforest]

We're working closely with the @nationaltrust and @YorkshireWater to fund and plant trees through our #TreesforClimate programme that will benefit habitats, wildlife and communities in the South Pennines.

A few recent highlights from the @whiteroseforest team for #NationalTreeWeek. We supported a great landowner engagement event hosted by @CLAtweets and @swintonestate plus the @WoodlandTrust making huge progress with the woodland creation we are supporting at Snaizeholme 🌳🌳

[Alastair Driver @AliDriverUK]

I should flag the critically important role that ⁦⁦@whiteroseforest⁩ played in helping to make this transformational project happen. They provided very significant Nature for Climate funding and have been very supportive and flexible throughout. https://t.co/S3GwgUQkPp

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

The ancient oak trees of Calverley Woods play a vital role in our region, removing pollutants from the air!

A fascinating start to the week learning all about them with @whiteroseforest.
