Paul (Local Tree Surgeon) has been incredibly generous not only with his donation of tons of free wood chippings, (between October 2020/February 2021) which act as a beautiful and natural weed suppressant but also for his time, advice, professionalism and friendliness.

Previously, he has also supplied wood chippings for the borders in Parkbourn, and other projects on the wildflower path at the rear of 45 Parkbourn Square, and Stafford Moreton Way Wildflower Project. I would highly recommend him and his son Harry. As a small local business for many years I would like to direct you to his Facebook page at the https://www.facebook.com/paulrichardstreeservices

The latest loads of chippings have been courtesy of a Poplar tree in Brook Road and a Sycamore in Eaton Road, Maghull. The Friends of Maghull and District (FOMD), Woodend Woodland Community Environmental Charity Project, at Bobby’s Wood/Woodend (junction of Liverpool Road South/Northway) have used the chippings around the 230m wildlife friendly hedge perimeter and are currently using them around all the recently donated plants along the huge 50×4 m rear woodland themed border.

Plant Donations Appeal: woodendcwp@gmail Update on Maghull’s Big Tree Planting Dig.

In April 2020 following two years of negotiations with Mersey Forest, Maghull Town Council and FOMD, we secured 8000 trees for Maghull, which we stored utilising a process called ‘healing’ in the ground.

We have now planted 250 trees at Moss Side Cricket Club (Park Lane/School Lane), 1455 trees at Woodend, 20 St Georges Primary School, 4 mature standard trees on Dover Road junction, 192 trees on Stafford Moreton Way. Before the end of March we also hope to plant 17 mature trees on two streets in Maghull, 1200 trees in two MTC parks, 2009 in Millbank Lane, and 13 mature trees in Woodend. We hope this will begin to compensate for the 50 mature trees that were tragically lost in Maghull two years ago following a health risk assessment of all the trees. We also hope that this can be the first part of our responsibility in addressing the ‘Climate Emergency’ and ‘Green Recovery’ both locally and nationally.

Best Wishes,

FOMD
