The pioneers believe that trees are essential to the future of our towns and cities, and a City of Trees is one that is healthier, more resilient and more prosperous. Here is a link with more about the benefits of trees.
Initiated by The Oglesby Charitable Trust, and Community Forest Trust, the charitable organisation that supports the delivery of City of Trees, this ambitious movement is securing a much greener, more resilient and pleasant environment that everyone can enjoy. You can find out more about the history of the movement on our timeline.
Their goals
- 3 million trees planted, one for every man, woman and child across Greater Manchester
- 2,000 hectares of unmanaged woodland brought back into a productive state
- Connect people to the trees and woods around them
The movement
A City of Trees will mean great things for Greater Manchester and you can help to make it happen!
City of Trees is being spearheaded by a number of committed partners and to realise their vision they need companies, organisations and individuals from across Greater Manchester to come together.
If you are an individual you can get involved in a number of different ways - whether that’s coming along to one of our events, helping to plant a tree, or simply keeping in touch with them.
If you are a company, community group or organisation you can become a partner in the movement.http://www.cityoftrees.org.uk/donate
