The Mersey Forest partnership is active over 6 Local Authorities in the North West, including CWAC. For 30 years it has been delivering the national Trees for Climate programme in the region, where it has planted 10 million trees, and created 453 ha of ecological network. It also offers the Natural Health Service, promoting wellbeing in contact with nature.

The Mersey forest is looking for more land, to establish more woodland in the borough.
They offer a range of flexible grants that cover up to 100% of the cost of tree planting. Experienced, local Woodland Advisors can support landowners with the full woodland creation process if needed, from application, design and species selection through to getting the trees in the ground.
