What a brilliant sunny day volunteering with the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust at Ainderby Bottoms, Ainderby Steeple last month 🌱
A fantastic team effort saw 28 volunteers get stuck in to plant 1,000 native broadleaf trees in just one day! This adds to an incredible 10,000 trees planted over the last 3 years, helping to create 10 hectares of new woodland habitat, all linked by new hedgerows 🌳
It’s not just great for the environment – it’s great for wellbeing too. Rachel, one of our team shared:
“As someone who spends all day in an office I was nervous about being outside all day. However, I was pleasantly surprised! It was great being out in the fresh air doing physical work and knowing that I was part of something that will be around for generations to come.”
At Whitkirk, we are proud to support projects that make a real, lasting difference – for both people and the planet 💚
