Citizen Forester Woodland Litter Pick at Hatchett’s Wood, Manchester

The Details

Join us for a big litter pick and become a Citizen Forester with City of Trees!

We will be removing litter and fly tipping from the woodland to make it great a place for both nature and people. We will provide all the tools and equipment you need to litter pick safely, just 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 all ages.

The event will run until the work is completed so on some days we may finish earlier than 3pm – please let us know if you will be coming later in the day and not arriving at 10am by emailing team@cityoftrees.org.uk
