For the third consecutive year White Rose Forest (WRF) has an opportunity to access funding from a global reforestation foundation called One Tree Planted (OTP), for its latest woodland planting schemes.
The eligibility for this funding is based on photographic evidence of trees planted through the WRF programme.
The WRF has submitted a claim for its 2023-24 woodland creation (126,250 new trees) across North and West Yorkshire.
OTP have now verified this claim and agreed to pay the WRF a donation of £71,811.00. This is due to be paid to Kirklees Council between Nov and Dec 2024.
