The sale of the wood, near Otley, is a 'rare' chance to ensure it is preserved, campaigners say.
A statement on the crowdfunding page said: "We are a collaboration of local community and nature groups, supported by national organisations who are working together to seize this rare opportunity to purchase and manage East Wood with, and for, the community, as well as for wildlife."
"Locals walk through it, but don't have the right to roam, unlike the visiting deer, tawny owls and woodpeckers, or resident kites, rooks, goldcrests, tree creepers and warblers," they said. Ian Brand, from Wharfedale Naturalists, said: "This is truly a wonderful opportunity to buy and manage a beautiful local woodland, not just for now, but for future generations.
A spokeswoman for Dacre, Son and Hartley said: "The property is situated to the north of Weston Lane on the edge of the picturesque village of Weston which is on the outskirts of Otley and it is approximately 12 miles north east of Leeds.
