City of Trees BURY Council is investing £100,000 into Barnfield Park in Prestwich in a bid to make it the centre of a green revolution across the region. This is the first step in what the council and City of Trees hope will turn the former horticulture centre into a new base for Greater Manchester’s Community Forest Team. The masterplan includes bringing back into use the polytunnels and planter beds for growing trees and wildflowers for use in projects in Bury and elsewhere in the borough. The aim, according to the council, is to make it a haven of practical learning for people to gain the skills needed to access jobs in the environment sector . Communities and schools will be able to visit the site and be inspired to deliver greening projects in their own parks, gardens and school grounds.
