Do you live in Manchester? Would you like to make your neighbourhood greener, healthier and more attractive?
Red Rose Forest has been working with communities across Greater Manchester for over 20 years to do just this.
Through the Green Streets programme, Red Rose Forest is able to help communities in Manchester apply for funding and deliver greening projects from street trees, to green alleyways and living green walls.
There are many benefits that trees and greenery can bring including:
improving local air quality
reducing noise pollution
reducing local temperatures on hot days and
reducing energy consumption in houses sheltered by trees
adding value to urban areas by making them more attractive
promoting a sense of local pride
promoting a sense of well-being
encouraging children to engage with the natural environment
Manchester City Council offers funding to community groups and residents of Manchester through the Cash grant scheme. If you would like to green your neighbourhood Red Rose Forest can help you to apply for a CASH grant and assist with the practicalities of delivering your greening project.
