Request a tree
Anyone can request a tree planting. It doesn't matter if you live, work, study or visit Manchester – we'd like to hear from you.
Trees are a key part of what makes Manchester a vibrant, attractive and liveable city. They filter pollutants from transport, help to reduce flooding and boost biodiversity.
We're always looking for new places to plant trees. If you'd like a tree planting near your property or in a park (or other green public space), get in touch. Email us at: treeplanting@manchester.gov.uk.
Include:
- your name
- your postcode
- the location you'd like a tree planting
You can support newly planted trees by helping with watering during summer months. Even if it rains, a couple of buckets of water (or as much as you can) a few times a week will help the tree to thrive.
We select trees using our 'right tree, right place' principle. We find a tree of the right size, shape and growth habit for the location. This avoids issues often associated with inappropriate trees in urban areas. Such as lifting, uneven pavements and structural damage to nearby properties.
We can't promise that a tree will be planted. We must consider several factors. Such as who owns the land, buried services (cables), street furniture (lights and signs) and parking. As well as the funding available and our capacity to manage the trees once planted.
