There are a lot of activities arranged throughout the Forest of Leeds (FOL) and the FOL team is involved in tree related events throughout the city, all year round, independently and in conjunction with nationwide organisations and associations.

From assisting with planting schemes at local schools, guided walks and tree dressing, to training voluntary Tree Wardens city-wide, the Forest of Leeds believes that community involvement is key in creating a greener landscape for us all to understand and enjoy. And what's more - it's fun !

If you know of any events that should be on this page or would like advice on arranging community woodland projects, please contact us at forestry.section@leeds.gov.uk.
