They want to beat developers to its purchase
Community groups have raised more than £50,000 as part of their bid to buy a section of woodland on the border of West and North Yorkshire.
The campaign is supported by Otley 2030, Menston Area Nature Trust, Wharfedale Naturists Society, Wildlife Friendly Otley, Climate Action Menston, Climate Action Ilkley, Addingham Environment, Yorkshire Rewilding Network and Protect Earth. "This is truly a wonderful opportunity to buy and manage a beautiful local woodland, for not just now, but for future generations. Local community ownership and control will allow us to maintain access for everyone, while managing East Wood in a way to increase its biodiversity and richness. I urge everyone to contribute in any way they can."
