ABOUT US
The White Rose Forest (WRF) is the community forest for North and West Yorkshire and one of 13 community forest partnerships in England. Our partnership of 38 organisations, including all local authorities in the region, national parks, charities, community groups and businesses, is governed by a local authority-based joint venture agreement, with Kirklees Council as the accountable body.
Our aim is to significantly increase tree coverage in North and West Yorkshire over the next 30 years and to do so by bringing people and communities into the process of planning, planting and looking after the trees and new woodlands.
White Rose Forest partners work together to plant millions of trees that will improve our natural environment and create happier and healthier places for us all to live, work and visit. The growing forest will also help meet the challenges of the Climate Emergency by contributing to our climate resilience and support the Government’s aim to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The funding we have available for woodland creation and the broader support and understanding of the many benefits of tree planting mean there has never been a better time to work in the sector.
The core White Rose Forest team are passionate about what they do and the difference they are making.
