Support Us

Born in Oldham, Northern Roots is using regenerative land management techniques to transform uncared for space into a destination that is ‘of’ the local community, but for everyone.

 

We are creating inspirational spaces, moments and opportunities for people to connect around food, growing, nature, learning, creativity, sport, work and play.

Stories

“The first thing I talk about is the size of the project, how big it is, the plans and the vision. It’s absolutely amazing for an industrial town like Oldham to have a project like this right in the middle of it. So I tell people about how it’s world leading, the first of its kind in the UK.” Simon, Community Grower & Ranger
