Are there any businesses or organisations who would like to contribute, perhaps through your corporate and social value work, to help the Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) with a race against time to undertake a fantastic community environmental project?
FOMD are partnered with the NHS to create an evidence-based health and wellness Dell in the heart of our community for the benefit of our community and its wildlife. Following expert consultation, we have strimmed and flailed the dominant invasive ground ivy, to enable the removal of 30 years or more of hidden litter and debris. Our volunteers have remarkably removed 150 bin bags of litter, 30 agricultural bags of Ivy and mountains of rubble debris in twenty weekly sessions, but we have a lot more to rake up and remove, before the regrowth tries to cover the rubbish up again!
Please can you help with:
  • Brush cutting the Ivy that could not be cut by the flailing tractor.
  • Raking and removing litter and debris from some large areas that have been flailed.
If we can remove the rubbish ASAP, we then hope to woodchip the area to suppress the Ivy, until August when the NHS subcontractors will be commencing hard and soft landscaping, and later in the year a programme of tree, shrub, bulb planting and rewilding will be undertaken to create a valued, beautiful, tranquil wildlife haven for all.
The Dell, which was an historic quarry, has sadly been neglected and used as an open tip for over 30 years. We have made some remarkable progress and would really value any support you can provide, and will be happy to work around any schedule that is convenient for you.
The Dell is situated in the centre of Maghull, adjacent to the Hare and Hounds Pub and belongs to the neighbouring NHS Medical Centre.
