City of Trees
City of Trees is set to re-invigorate Greater Manchester’s landscape by restoring underused, unloved woodland and planting a tree for every man, woman and child that lives in the City Region, within a generation.
It believes 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.
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.
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
If you select City of Trees when you complete the Staff Survey 2017, the University will donate £1 on your behalf which will be used to plant trees, manage woodlands and get schools and families involved in nature-based activities.
