Wetherby

Trees for Cities is planning to create new public woodland for Wetherby, near to the well-used Wetherby leisure centre. While Wetherby is surrounded by green space, much of the land in and around the town is farmland or amenity grassland, so lacks the vast diversity of plants, birds, mammals, fungi, creepy crawlies and, of course, trees that thrive in native woodland.

As the woodland grows and matures it will act as an excellent resource for local school groups, families out for a picnic, and anyone who wants to go for a walk amongst the trees.

In previous years we planted 750 trees along the route of the Harland Way cycle path - a well-used route developed along a disused railway line.

Trees for Cities relies on donations from individuals in order to deliver projects like the Wetherby Project. Please consider supporting our project work by making a donation or buying a community gift.
