The Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) will be delighted to welcome any volunteers to our next weekly one-hour tidy up of Maghull, which is our newest and biggest environmental project yet, entitled the NHS Wellness Dell.

We will meet for one hour at 10 o’clock next Saturday (25.11.23) in the wooded area across the road from the Hare & Hounds Pub on Liverpool Rd North, Maghull.

On this occasion we are continuing to remove the ivy which is damaging the trees and walls, and litter picking from ivy.

Consequently, please bring garden gloves, litter picker, secateurs, loppers, tree saw, axe, and sheers. Wrap up, as it could be a wet one! Check our website’s events page for any changes or further information at www.fomd.co.uk

In the last six one-hour sessions remarkably we have now collected 68 bags of litter, a huge array of debris and ten agricultural bags of tree and wall damaging Ivy, receiving some wonderful feedback and clearly seeing the difference every time we are there.

Many thanks to John, Diane, Joan, Rob his amazing daughter Bobby who all did a remarkable job removing ivy from several more tree trunks, litter picking, removing brick debris, brushed the path to remove dangerously slippy leaves, resulting in two agricultural bags tenacious damaging Ivy, which would have delighted the historical owners of Clent Farm which stood on the site prior to its demolition in 1964 (see pictures below). The Dell was originally used as a quarry, which we presume may have been used to support the build of the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
