Huddersfield residents are being invited to join a tree planting effort at Field Lumb Lane in Almondbury, West Yorkshire, during February and March 2026 to help create a new community woodland. The Kirklees Parks and Greenspace team is looking for local people to help improve air quality and nature near the historic Castle Hill landmark. This initiative allows neighbours to take part in environmental action that will benefit the area for many years.
The project is supported by TSL Kirklees, which serves as the local centre for connecting volunteers with community roles. People who want to help can sign up for single or multiple sessions to plant native broadleaf trees on former agricultural land. These sessions are part of a regional strategy led by the White Rose Forest to increase the number of trees across the region.
Local leaders, including Almondbury Ward Councillors Alison Munro, Paola Davis, and David Longstaff, have helped guide the community through the planning of this site. This latest effort follows a successful project where local youth groups recently added 1,000 trees to help grow the nearby ancient woods. The long-term goal is to ensure every household in the district has easy access to high-quality green spaces.
