The role of community groups in managing Manchester's Trees

This statement speaks for itself.

The city council agrees that there would be considerably fewer trees....if it were not for the willingness of the public to get involved.

What The Manchester Tree Strategy means for Whalley Range

It appears that these two issues are not clearly addressed in the current Whalley Range Strategy because in order to deal with the issue of climate change mitigation and adaptation you would need to clearly understand the current role of the present trees and ensure that the tree canopy volume cover is both maintained and increased by a minimum of 10% by canopy volume - not tree numbers.

Therefore tree replacement may need to be in the region of 27 trees or maybe less allowing for small tree canopy growth but certainly more than the 1.5 trees replanted for every 1 removed at the present time>

Good to see the MEN dramatising this - its no mass felling but a gradual felling of leaf mass!
