More than 100 people from five different Sikh temples across Greater Manchester came together last weekend to create a new woodland for generations to come.
On Saturday 30 November City of Trees were joined by nearly 200 volunteers including Radio 1 DJ, actor and presenter Cel Spellman and Youth Strike Manchester organiser Emma Greenwood.
To mark National Tree Week we have selected a number of poems that relate to the trees and woodland in Greater Manchester produced by 'Word in Edgeways', as part of the National Lottery Heritage Funded Carbon Landscape project.
City of Trees is calling on Greater Manchester residents to help them plant half a million trees this winter as part of a national campaign – The Big Climate Fightback.
This event taking place in Manchester in May 2020 will explore the critical functions provided by our urban tree resource in making our cities resilient for the 21st Century and beyond.
