A decision has been taken to accept funding from the One Tree Planted (OTP) Foundation which is an American based non-profit, public charity donor, whose mission is to help with global reforestation.
The White Rose Forest (part of Kirklees’ Major Projects Team) is one of England’s Community Forests which has an agreement in place with OTP. This agreement enables Kirklees Council to receive donations from OTP for North and West Yorkshire trees planting schemes supported with grant funding from the WRF (in 2022-23).
The OTP donation will be used to support the revenue cost (staff costs) of monitoring the new woodland across future years. The woodlands need to be monitored for 15 years following planting.
