Stroll through Manchester’s streets and hear the stories the city trees have to tell. Hear about the Catalpas near Lincoln Square from the American 'Indian' homelands, the oaks that made our great ships, the barely-noticed hawthorn that has been here for ten thousand years, longer than any warring peoples. And Manchester’s own poplars, sci-fi male clones, the rarest trees in Britain, with a story all of their own. Trees are part of our living city and they are all permanent artworks, if you know how to look.

Meet at the Tourist Information Centre, Lloyd Street, Manchester.
