The case for more trees in and around our towns and cities is strong and compelling. City of Trees' key goal is to bring 2,000 hectares of unmanaged woodland back into use for the community and to plant 3 million trees – one for every man, woman and child across Greater Manchester – within a generation.

Creative Concern is part of the partnership that is making this ambition a reality. Working alongside the Community Forest Trust and The Oglesby Charitable Trust, our experience in the forestry sector and networks across Greater Manchester proved invaluable when launching the campaign. Our involvement continues with strategy, PR, design, website development and stakeholder engagement to promote the vision and encourage investment with a whole range of public and private sector audiences.
