Community
Tree Nurseries
Red
Rose Forest works hard to support local communities as they carry
out their own environmental projects. Over the past two years
Red Rose Forest has been developing four community tree nurseries,
which supply community groups, schools and other organisations
with free trees for them to plant in their local area.
Unlike
commercial enterprises, Red Rose Forest's community tree nurseries
do not aim to supply on a large scale, but instead stock trees
grown from local seed (much of which is collected by volunteers)
and tailor themselves to the needs of the local community.
There
are community tree nurseries in Partington in Trafford, Smithills
in Bolton, the Spinney in Wigan and Blackleach in Salford. If
you would like to find out about availability at any of these
nurseries, or for advice about suitable trees for your project
please contact Fliss
Paris, the Community Liaison Officer.
