Youngsters from Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association Keighley joined other colleagues from across the region at the Guard House urban woodland site, off North Dean Road, last Sunday. (Nov 29)
Some 400 trees were planted, as well as 300 daffodil bulbs.
The children were joined by a group of adults, including friends from the Jewish community and Keighley councillor Ian Dermondy.
Ian Butterfield, forest of Bradford project manager, said: “As well as planting oak trees, blackthorn, and the like, we will plant fruit trees – apples and plums – which people will be able to pick and eat themselves and which will also be food for wildlife.”
Dr Adeem Rubani, deputy leader of Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association Keighley, said: “Tree planting is an activity of huge importance.
"The urban woodland will provide a wonderful home for wildlife such as birds and squirrels.”

“Despite the bitterly cold day the children really enjoyed themselves and look forward to these days.
"Planting a tree is a very special act, and we encourage the children to not only enjoy themselves but to understand the benefit that the trees will give to the environment."
