Volunteer conservationists, the youngest aged three, braved the snowy weather to plant hundreds of trees.

Despite the recent snowfall making much of the area inaccessible, the team planted 700 trees at Lippersley Farm, Silsden, last Monday, under the guidance of Forest of Bradford manager Ian Butterfield.

The volunteers were were from the Sant Nirankar Mission, a faith group based in Napier Street, Bradford.
