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.
East Wood, also known as Weston Wood, can be found between Otley and Weston and is up for sale for £100,000 - and community groups hope to raise the money to buy it before a developer does. If they do, the groups fear it could be used for timber or fenced off.
Instead, they want it to become community woodland for locals to enjoy.
