What is the Green Tips project?

Running from 199x to 2008, when the project was wound up, Green Tips was a highly successful land regeneration initiative, delivered by Red Rose Forest in partnership with Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority.

Green Tips turned old landfill sites in Greater Manchester into beautiful, safe, community woodlands, adding trees, wildflowers and open grassland areas whilst improving access and safety and tacking anti-social behaviour.

Engaging local communities in the regeneration of their neighbourhood was central to the Green Tips principle. Together with hundreds of individuals, schools and community groups the project successfully transformed a number of previously neglected wastelands into beautiful green spaces, making them safe and interesting places for people to use and enjoy and for wildlife to flourish.

Green Tips worked on several sites across Greater Manchester. To see more information on the work carried out on these sites please click on the links below.
