More than 100 people planted living memorials as the latest additions to the Telegraph & Argus Bradford Can...Cancer Research Appeal Memorial Wood.
About 300 oak, birch and rowan trees have now been planted on the site at the St Ives Estate in Harden, near Bingley.
Trees have been for sale at £50 each and the proceeds go to the Bradford Can...Appeal, which has just topped £1 million.
Every tree will have a metal plate with its reference number so it can be identified. There will be a clearing in the middle of the wood with benches and a plaque showing each tree's reference number and dedication.
Appeal manager Tish Burton said the final planting day for the Bradford Can...Wood would be on March 26 and there were only a few trees left for sale. She said after that, the Bradford Can...Wood would be complete. Anyone wanting to buy one should contact the appeal office on (01274) 235482 by Friday. For anyone interested in buying a tree after Friday, the money will go towards cancer research in Bradford.
Requests to buy trees should be sent in writing to Richard Dunton, Trees and Woodland Manager, Arts, Heritage and Leisure, Peel Park Depot, 950, Bolton Road, Bradford, BD2 4BX.
