Environmental

Coming under Community this part of the group exists to undertake environmental projects on behalf of the club.


The Club has undertaken at least one environmental project in each year over recent times.

Many tree and hedge plantings have been completed since 2011/ 2012 in conjunction with The Forest of Bradford team (more recently Yorgreen CIC). Hundreds of trees were very successfully planted on each occasion and a high percentage of Club members were involved who had an enjoyable time carrying out the activity.

We will again aim to plant between 250 to 500 more trees in the Bradford Metropolitan Area.
