What is The Mersey Forest

Did you know?

590,510 trees were established in The Mersey Forest in the last planting season

We are Cheshire and Merseyside’s Community Forest, established in the early 1990s. We work with trees for the benefit of people, nature, and climate.

For the past 30 years, we have been growing the network of well looked after trees and woods, as well as other habitats, and encouraging people to get involved. As a result, more than 10 million new trees have been established, or 4 trees for every person living here.

We work with lots of people and organisations to make this happen – partners, landowners, managers, and farmers, and local communities, businesses and schools. Together, we are bringing change for the benefit of all.

We are one of England’s 15 Community Forests and part of the Northern Forest initiative.
