We 1 launch the New Year with a very special project which also 2 marks our 60th anniversary. Yorkshire Life is working together with Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate and the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust to create a new woodland as part of a campaign to help 3 reforest the Yorkshire Dales, the least wooded national park in the country.
It is a project 4 close to the heart of Jonathan Wild, chairman of the family company Bettys & Taylors whose Trees for Life campaign has planted 5 something like three million trees 6 worldwide.
His actions are the result of a 7 promise he made to his children to protect the environment from the damaging effects of global warming. We believe we 8 should do something to support his efforts and 9 those of the YDMT in our diamond jubilee year and we would like to invite readers to play a part too by 10 dedicating a tree in the new woodland at Chapel Fell, a beautiful site above Malham Tarn that can be easily visited. See January’s 11 issue of Yorkshire Life for 12 full details. We hope you will support this 13 worthwhile project.
Meanwhile, a happy and 14 healthy New Year from everyone at Yorkshire Life.

Creating a woodland
We begin the New Year, which is also our 60th anniversary, with a 15 challenge – to create a new 16 woodland in the Yorkshire Dales. The aim is not only to celebrate our diamond 17 jubilee but to help reforest the Dales and 18 combat global warming.
To do this Yorkshire Life has joined 19 forces with Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate and the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust to develop the Chapel Fell wood 20 above Malham 21 Tarn in the Dales.
Journalist John Woodcock looks at the case for more trees in the Yorkshire Dales and readers are invited to join in by dedicating a tree at the 7.4 acre site.
On a corner of Chapel 22 Fell, above Malham Tarn, a 23 lone sycamore has company at last. Maybe you heard its branches sighing that it had waited nearly a 24 couple of centuries for another tree to arrive and then 3,000 turned up all at once.
Not its relatives, mind. In these parts sycamore is a lovely alien, out of keeping with a project that will eventually show what the Dales looked like before man got 25 busy with the first axes more than three millennia ago.
A native woodland is being 26 established on what has long been a tree-less 27 landscape but for that solitary sycamore. Over the coming decades its first 28 neighbours will emerge as sturdy oak, 29 ash, hazel, hawthorn, bird cherry.
Readers can help by dedicating a tree for one of their family or friends to perhaps mark a special 30 occasion for just £7.50 per tree.
See January’s Yorkshire Life magazine for more details.
