As part of the Green Summit  in Manchester today, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, officially announced the launch of a brand new website ‘Nature Greater Manchester’  designed to connect residents of Greater Manchester with their natural environment.

Another 'Listening Event' for the Mayor’s Green Summit took place on Friday 16th February, with a focus on place and how we can make Greater Manchester a physically greener city region, with more green and blue spaces from the city core to the rural edges.

As part of the Mayor's upcoming Green Summit, a recently held 'listening event' for the business community found that Greater Manchester has the potential to be the UK’s leading green city region. 

The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) as Britain’s first environmental charity, has campaigned hard for rural protections, perhaps most notably in the creation of National Parks and Green Belts, which has given millions of people easy access to nature.
