The conservation charity said it aimed to create 21 hectares of new woodland, the equivalent of ten football pitches, at Hayhills Farm, Silsden, which has been marketed as including 21 hectares of meadow and pasture, as well as 4.9 hectares of mixed mature woodland.

Eventually it is aimed that the site will feature more than 30,000 native trees, including species such as sessile oak, wild cherry, silver birch and rowan. In addition, another five hectares of rare ancient woodland will be restored, enhancing biodiversity in an area with some of the lowest tree cover in the UK.

The trust said the farm’s “prime location” near the popular Millennium Way walking route meant pathways would connect the woodland to the trail, “making it an ideal spot for walkers, families and nature enthusiasts to explore and enjoy”.
