North Yorkshire woodland faces axe under bottled water plant expansion plans
A community woodland planted by school children in North Yorkshire faces being cut down to allow for the expansion of a bottled water plant.
Danone, the French food conglomerate, bought a majority stake in popular British water brand Harrogate Spring Water last year. The two companies are planning to expand an existing bottled water production site onto an adjacent four-acre area of woodland in the North Yorkshire spa town.
Under the plans, more than half of the woodland would be cut down to make way for the planned bottling facility, which mainly uses plastic bottles.
