Bolton council plans to plant up to 8,000 trees to help create a 'new woodland'
with the Woodland Trust planting over 130,000 trees on land around Winter Hill last year.Pete Stringer, GI planning and technical manager at City of Trees, added: "The new planting proposals will help deliver on the government’s commitment to increase tree planting to 30,000 hectares per year, across the UK, by 2025 as well as Greater Manchester’s goals to be carbon neutral by 2038.“We hope this year’s planting programme will be the first of a longer partnership between City of Trees and Bolton Council.”Potential planting sites are being assessed for their suitability and locations will be confirmed next year.
