Bury Housing Services is working with City of Trees, the community forest for Greater Manchester, to plant more trees in Chesham.
These will complement the solar panels which have been installed on a number of properties on the estate, to provide tenants with warmer, healthier and cheaper homes.
The scheme meant that some trees had to removed – however, they have been replaced by 5 trees for every one lost.
Estimates show that the solar panels and extra trees will cut carbon emissions by nearly 500 tonnes over the next 25 years.
Councillor Clare Cummins, cabinet member for housing services, said: “This is a win-win for everyone. Tenants’ homes are better insulated and their fuel bills are reduced, while greenhouse gases are cut and local neighbourhoods are greener.”
