Woodland Management at Bank Bridge Meadow, Manchester

Join us for a day of Woodland Management and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!

We will be creating deadwood habitats, thinning small trees, removing natural regeneration and carrying out brash clearance. This work maintains a healthy and sustainable woodland that supports local wildlife and the surrounding community.

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.
