Citizen Forester Tree Planting at West Didsbury & Chorlton AFC, Manchester

The Details

Join us for a day of Planting and Tree Maintenance and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!

We will be doing tree maintenance and planting, giving our young trees at West Didsbury and Chorlton AFC 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.
