Community Engagement in Greater Manchester

We’re a Community Forest charity and engaging people in planting trees, looking after trees and nurturing a culture of trees is at the heart of what we do. We create meaningful opportunities for people to enjoy, learn about and celebrate our urban forest, while contributing to better outcomes for the people of Greater Manchester.

We have a variety of ways to inspire people to get involved in our work, this includes everything from our Citizen Forester volunteer programme to year-round events.

Trees for everyone, trees everywhere!

We’re passionate about embedding the importance of trees throughout the fabric of life in Greater Manchester – from arts and heritage, to health and wellbeing. Trees provide us with life and we believe for their importance to be realised they shouldn’t just be confined to the typical environment and forestry sectors!

The core of our engagement approach is to provide an opportunity for people to make a difference. This might be physical improvements to their neighbourhood, or to undertake activities or actions that makes a difference to their livelihoods or the planet.
