The idea
The Miles Platting Wildlife Corridor for people and nature will enhance identified spaces and create new habitats in the neighbourhoods of Miles Platting, Manchester. The aim is to improve biodiversity and the local ecosystem, increase interaction and connection between residents and their natural environment, mitigate impacts of climate change, and encourage physical activity between sites and along the Rochdale Canal. Once at the heart of industrial activity, Miles Platting is a densely populated area with few undeveloped sites. Remaining green and blue spaces offer significant habitat improvement opportunities to ensure people and nature can thrive in this urban environment.
