On Sunday 22nd April we volunteered for the City of Trees project.
City of Trees is an innovative and exciting movement set to re-invigorate Greater Manchester’s landscape by transforming underused, unloved woodland and planting a tree for every man, woman and child who lives in the region – within a generation. City of Trees is part of the Northern Forest project: a 25-year vision to plant 50 million trees across the North of England, stretching from Liverpool to Hull.
Working in the Firs Plantation, a community woodland in Sale, we helped with planting oak, hazel and cherry saplings. A job well done!
