Bradford City staff and players planted 154 trees at the club training ground on Monday. The figure represents one tree for every goal scored by the men's and women's senior teams during the 2024-25 campaign. The initiative forms part of the Greener Bantams project, which aims to improve the club's environmental impact, according to the Bradford Telegraph & Argus.
Club representatives and local volunteers organised the planting session at Woodhouse Grove. The project focuses on carbon sequestration and biodiversity enhancement at the facility. Last season, the men's first team contributed significantly to the total goal count alongside the women's squad.
This green initiative follows a wider trend of sustainability efforts across the English Football League. The club intends to maintain the woodland area as a permanent feature of the training base. Further environmental schemes are scheduled for later in the year, per official club statements. The trees consist of native British species selected to support local wildlife and improve air quality in the surrounding area.
