One Tree Planted (2022-23)

 

 

In 2022-23 the White Rose Forest (WRF) was given the opportunity to access funding from a global reforestation foundation called One Tree Planted (OTP), for its 2022-23 woodland planting schemes. The eligibility for this funding was based on photographic evidence of trees the WRF had planted in the 2022-23 planting season.  Evidence for 441,947 trees was submitted and has now been verified by the lead organisation - the accountable body working with OTP.

 

The donation the WRF expect to receive will be a minimum of £154,681 but could be up to a maximum of £353,100. The final figure is yet to be confirmed.

 

The funds are expected to be paid in instalments to Kirklees Council in the next 8 months.
