The Forest of Leeds |
|
 The Forest of Leeds is a Leeds City Council initiative that is striving to enhance the woodlands, countryside and urban green spaces of Leeds. This "Community Forest" initiative was launched in September 1993 as a five year "Implementation" project (click here for a summary of the first five years), funded jointly by Leeds City Council and the Countryside Agency (formerly the Countryside Commission), with grant aid from the Forestry Commission. Initially focusing upon four "Forest Zones" in south Leeds, the Forest is a partnership between the Local Authority, private landowners, environmental organisations and local people. In January 2000, the Forest of Leeds was expanded to include the whole of the Leeds Metropolitan District (5522 kilometres). The aim is to integrate trees and woodland, together with associated habitats, with the urban, urban fringe and rural environments of Leeds. |
