Manchester's famous Poplar trees are sadly being lost to Poplar scab - meaning a new generation of tree planting is urgently needed to maintain and increase the city's tree cover.

Since March 2006 Trees for Cities has been working with Red Rose Forest - Greater Manchester's community forestry organisation - to plant new woodland plots, large specimen trees, hedgerow and community orchards across the city.

We have planted over 5,300 trees to date, and will more than double this number by the end of the planting season.

Trees for Cities relies on donations from individuals in order to deliver our Manchester projects. Please consider supporting our project work by making a donation or buying a community gift.
