Young Muslim volunteers helped plant more than 5,000 trees after teaming up with a wildlife charity.

Volunteers from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) joined up with the Woodland Trust last Sunday as part of the association’s national tree planting campaign.

The group travelled to Heartwood Forest near Sandridge in Hertfordshire in a bid to plant 3,000 trees at the site.

Among the volunteers were representatives from Kingston, New Malden, Putney, Raynes Park and Wimbledon.

Heartwood Forest is an ongoing project to build England’s largest native woodland in order to improve the diversity of wildlife in the area.

The contribution from the AMYA is a continual effort to promote good community relations and an appreciation of the natural world.
