Brook Valley Conservation Area in Gorton just 3.25 miles from the city centre of
Manchester.
To also promote and preserve the heritage and wildlife of the Gore Brook Valley

and passes through natural wood lands and meadows.

A BIG THANK YOU TO BARCLAY'S BANK
On Friday the 27th of October the BBC radio came down to the Butterfly Garden along
with Barclay's Bank and volunteers they planted some new trees along with some
plants. They helped to do a really good job and hopefully stop the people of Gorton
complaining about the butterfly garden, We would like to see more happening in and
around the Heritage Trail and would love for anyone to come and help we are all
volunteers and do our best to make the area better. We are hoping to plant some
more trees on the meadow very soon, keep watching the web site for more updates
for when and where everyone is welcome even if it is for only half an hour.
