Wakefield Council is planting a 5.3-hectare woodland at the colliery, carefully selecting broadleaved and coniferous native woodland trees that will thrive in the area. The project is part of a larger programme to create the Northern Forest, a stretch of 50 million trees across the Merseyside, Manchester and Yorkshire.
