Can anyone help with some tree planting tomorrow morning (Monday 11.3.24) starting at 930 until 12:00. Any time you can spare would really be appreciated. We will be working in the rear tree enclosure at Old Hall Park, close to the Canal, with the closest access point from Hornby Chase (L31 5PP). If you can’t find us on the day, please ring 07507759813.

Sorry for the short notice but we didn’t expect the tree donations from Mersey Forest to be so quick. We asked for 215 tree whips to replace those that had been lost, but we can’t keep them alive in the bags for more than a week really.

We planted 115 trees late last week and removed grass from the surviving trees.

We are planting as much as we can in the second of two tree enclosures at Old Hall Park, as it is uncertain whether a local Scout group can help next Saturday the 16th of March, to undertake some maintenance work and the final planting of 100 replacement trees.

Please don’t forget to bring the essentials – sturdy boots, garden gloves and a spade.

Huge thanks,

Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD).

More Thanks: We planted 115 trees late last week and removed grass from the surviving trees in the first of two tree enclosures. Thursday (7.3.24) Ken, Paul and myself focused on planting 71 trees, whilst Joan was fantastic removing the grass from the surviving trees. Friday (8.3.24) Mark, Colin and myself planted more than 44 trees and continued grass removal. Enormous thanks for all your hard work, it was really appreciated.
