Mersey Community Forest, the largest of the UK’s 12 Community Forests, has hired Wootton George Consulting to help it develop funding streams for project work in 2005.
Wootton George Consulting was already known to the Mersey Forest team, as it had previously carried out work for the National Community Forest Partnership.
The new assignment involves funder research, project packaging and the generation of funding bids.

Simon George, a Director of Wootton George Consulting, said: “It’s great to be working for a Community Forest again, as they are doing such a fantastic job in greening the UK and revitalising local communities.”
Launched in 1991, the Mersey Community Forest covers 420 square miles in Merseyside and North Cheshire, an area inhabited by 1.6 million people.
As well as encouraging tree planting and the reuse of neglected land, the Forest runs a wide range of community projects, including schools work, events and community involvement in the development of the Forest.
