Citizen Forester Tree Maintenance at Longford Park, Trafford

The Details

Join us for a day of tree maintenance, giving our young trees at Longford Park some Tree-LC. We will be carrying out this work to ensure that the these trees reach establishment and create woodland areas that will support the local wildlife whilst also responding to the climate emergency.

All tools will be provided; please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work and sturdy footwear. Drop in for an hour or stay the whole day – you will be guided throughout the day so no prior experience is necessary. This activity is suitable for adults and children.

This maintenance session is run in collaboration with The People, Place and Nature Project at Longford Park. Find out more information on the exciting changes happening here.

The People, Place and Nature Project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, Trafford Council will deliver £6m of improvements to the features and facilities of Longford Park.
