Central Bedfordshire Council have provided 1,000 tree saplings which include Hazel, Buckthorn, Crab Apple, Blackthorn and Gelder Rose for planting along the edge of the bridleway which runs through the Woods.

Ken Barry, of the Friends of Linslade Woods, said: "If you enjoy being in the Woods, if you like trees, if you want to be in the frontline in the battle against climate chaos then please get in touch and come along and help on the day.

"Trees offer hope for the future, they are a natural defence against climate chaos as well as making the planet a happier, healthier place for everyone.
