'We've planted a thousand trees in under two hours. It's just been absolutely magnificent'
#BigClimateFightback
'If you plant them, they will grow'
Within the first hour, this whole area was planted with a variety of trees, including fruit trees
#BigClimateFightback
- A bunch of ready to plant whips (small saplings)
- A bunch of bamboo canes
- A spade
Out of pic - the plastic shields which protect the young tree (we had to hunt them down!)

There were also people from Horsforth Litter Pickers, Horsforth Action Hub, @XRLeeds @WYP_LeedsNW and many others.
So inspiring to be part of this brilliant community event
#EveryTreeMatters
Loads of great networking going on amongst the tree planting.
It wasn't just trees that got planted today!
#BigClimateFightback
I hope these brothers come back in years to come, and as they grow taller and stronger, see the tree they planted grow taller and stronger.
#BigClimateFightback
Cllr Collins told me there will be another 2,500 to plant in March - so that'll be a morning's work then!
