Beamsley Wood

We are excited to announce your brand new supporter woodland! Beamsley Wood, in Lower Wharfedale, is the latest way you can support local woodlands by dedicating a tree to someone special.

Beamsley wood has been planted with just over 6,000 trees in an area of Lower Wharfedale that is teeming with wildlife. The River Wharfe is close by so dippers, wagtails, and herons may be seen. 

Established woodland around the newly planted Beamsley wood contains many species such as squirrels, hares, foxes and badgers and as the new wood grows it is expected these will be begin to hunt and live there too. 

During the spring and summer, the established wood has an abundance of ground flora including bluebells and primrose and will provide good habitat for insects and pollinators including butterflies, bees, wasps and moths which over time will also move into the new woodland.
