ECO-FRIENDLY Boltonians planted trees yesterday as the final stage of a campaign to build a woodland in the town for the Millennium.
More than 300 trees were planted as part of the Millennium Woodland project at Haslam Park, Wigan Road, Deane, between 10am and 3pm.
The trees were planted by groups and individuals who had collected and nurtured their own seeds.
The event was part of the campaign to plant a 'Red Rose Forest' across Greater Manchester.
It was attended by the Mayor of Bolton, Councillor Alan Wilkinson, and the Mayoress, Mrs Denise Wilkinson.
Everyone who took part received a photo memento, a slice of cake and a woodland wildflower kit for next spring's planting event at the site.
