Australian minister goes walkabout in Mersey Forest

25 April 2018

Australia's Natural Resources Minister, The Hon Rick Colless, took a tour of some key sites and projects in the Mersey Forest to explore our approach to community forestry.

Accompanied by officials from Defra, he viewed the Trees For Learning initiative, Forest School at Green Lane Special School, Warrington and visited the Countess of Chester Country Park. Colless visited a number of organisations and green spaces in the US and the UK in March and April to find out more about international approaches to conservation and forestry.
