Citizen Forester Tree Planting at Thatch Leach Lane, Bury

The Details

Join us for a day of tree planting and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!

We are planting trees in response to the climate and biodiversity emergency. They create healthier, happier communities, tackle the climate crisis head-on, reconnect us to our natural world, and provide essential habitats for wildlife.

All tools will be provided; please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work and sturdy footwear. Drop in for an hour or stay the whole day – you will be guided throughout the day so no prior experience is necessary. This activity is suitable for adults and older children because tree planting may require the use of sharp tools. If you are interested in bringing young children to this event please contact our team to see how you can be involved.
