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.
We look after trees
