Tree planting projects can apply for grant funding from Bettys Tree for Life project for another year
Bettys, the Harrogate-based company behind the famous tea rooms, launched the tree-planting initiative to mark its 100th anniversary last year, and the decision has been taken to extend the project for another 12 months.
The firm put aside funding of £100,000 which was made available to community groups across Yorkshire, with the money used for tree planting in a host of locations including local green spaces and natural habitats.
