About us

We’re Cheshire and Merseyside’s Community Forest. We create more with trees – acting together to grow tree cover to 30% across our area; intertwining cherished trees with enriched people, flourishing nature, climate resilience, and rekindled hope.

We’ll achieve this by working with our partners, communities, businesses, landowners and managers, establishing thriving trees, woodlands and other habitats for the benefit of all.

Our plan

We have a long term and strategic forest plan that guides our work. The plan is currently being updated and there is an opportunity for you to share your thoughts on the draft plan.

Our work

We work and support a wide range of projects across the area, from woodland establishment and management, urban greening, nature recovery initiatives, flood resilience and health and education programmes.
