Protect Leeds’ woodlands, leave them wild, leave them healthy 🌳

Leeds is home to some incredible woodlands, from Temple Newsam and Middleton Woods to Gledhow Valley, Roundhay Park’s hidden pockets of ancient trees, and countless community woodlands across the city. These spaces are rich with life, and they need our help.

Unfortunately, unauthorised works in these areas are causing real harm. Actions like cutting down trees, “tidying” deadwood, or making private tracks damage fragile habitats and, in many cases, amount to wildlife crime under UK law.

What’s harming Leeds’ woodlands?
❌ Illegal felling - Cutting trees without a Forestry Commission licence is a criminal offence. It fragments habitats, reduces biodiversity, and even affects carbon storage.
❌ Removing deadwood because it looks ‘messy’ - Deadwood is not rubbish, it’s one of the most valuable habitats in the woodland. Clearing it destroys the homes and breeding grounds of rare insects, fungi and birds.
❌ Unauthorised paths, bike tracks, or structures - Creating new access points or dumping materials, especially in protected sites, damages sensitive ecosystems, including those supporting rare reptiles and invertebrates.
❌ Stripping shrubs and ground vegetation - This removes nesting areas for birds commonly found in Leeds woodlands, such as blackcaps and willow warblers.

How you can help protect Leeds’ woodlands:
Leave deadwood where it is, it’s a living habitat, not a hazard.
Don’t cut or clear anything unless you are the landowner and have proper permissions.
Do not build unofficial tracks for walking, bikes or motorbikes.
Report concerns such as illegal felling or habitat damage here: https://services.leeds.gov.uk/ProblemInAParkOrGreenSpace/ServiceRequest/Information?utrn=W45353260971

Even well‑meaning actions can have serious consequences. If you’re unsure, always check before carrying out any woodland work.
