More than 65 per cent of residents in Liverpool have seen an improvement in the city's green environment over the past decade, a poll by The Mersey Forest shows.
Residents remarked on the increase in woodlands, street trees and other habitats in the poll.
The Mersey Forest is launching a 'supporter drive' to ensure that the greening of the local area continues to go from strength to strength.
Liverpool City Council's cabinet member for the environment, Councillor Tim Moore, said: "We're delighted all the hard work which goes into making our neighbourhoods as green as possible has been recognised by local people."
"And things can only get greener in the future as the young trees and woodlands mature and more are planted, the benefits for people, wildlife and the economy will become even greater."
