Growing Greater Manchester's Urban Forest

We are City of Trees, the Community Forest for Greater Manchester.

We plant trees for people – trees to create better, greener places, to boost health and wellbeing, to grown green skills and to tackle the climate and biodiversity emergency.

We’re rooted here in Greater Manchester, the place we live and work. We are proud to call the region home and are passionate about growing our urban forest, one tree at a time.

Growing Greater Manchester’s Urban Forest

As the Community Forest for the second largest urban area in the country, we’re well-placed to champion the benefits of the urban forest. We know Greater Manchester’s woodlands aren’t always the largest – but that’s okay.

For us, it’s about bringing more trees to the places where people live and work, weaving green spaces into the fabric of Greater Manchester, and helping communities connect with the nature on their doorstep.
