In March 2017 a group of conservation volunteers celebrated the planting of their 1000th oak tree sapling around the reservoir. The work took about four years, 250 trees were planted each year. This has brought the total number of trees at Scammonden to over 80000, in 1971 there were less than half this number. The Tree Planter sculpture by Mike Disley was wholly funded by Yorkshire Water and recognises the contribution of all those who have planted trees in the past, present and those that will do so in the future There are other sculptures by the same artist at intervals along the 3 miles walk around the reservoir.
