The newly installed block paved viewing area, resplendent with three benches and a bin provides a reflective space overlooking the ongoing green centre transformation being undertaken at Rowlands Dell NHS health and wellness woodland. The viewing area is part of several features representing one of Maghull’s largest green grant investments gratefully obtained by FOMD’s NHS partner.

Background.

This beautiful haven for wildlife has unbelievably been treated as an open tip for decades, where every inch has revealed a variety of pollutants harmful to wildlife. In our three stage plan, stage I has resulted in Maghull’s biggest ever 46 week cleanup in which FOMD have removed 266 bin bags of litter and 25 tons of debris. In the two months of Stage II, that was completed this month, with our NHS landowner partners (expertly installed by subcontractors – PR England Landscapers) using a health and wellness grant fund (representing Maghull’s largest green investment) have installed an amazing legacy array of hard landscaping installations to provide accessibility for  the whole community. We are now engaging in stage three to repopulate Rowlands Dell with woodland planting and needs your help.

Can you help?

The Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) final one hour session this year (in which everyone is welcome without any commitment), will be meeting at our Rowlands Dell Project (adjacent to the Hare & Hounds Pub), this Wednesday (09.30 hrs, 4.12.24) to transfer most of our donated plants from our on-site holding area, into a dry water feature rockery and possibly moving a few trees.

Equipment:  You will need garden gloves and sturdy boots, hand and garden fork and spade. Alternatively, we have a small area of ivy that needs brush cutting/strimming for future tree planting.

Thank you to: Colin and Frank for last week session (26.11.24) when they transplanted the majority of our community donated plants from our holding area to populate the stunning dry waterfall rockery feature.

Join Our Massive tree planting program in Maghull later in the year please register your interest by emailing admin@fomd.co.uk with your contact details and we will be delighted to get back to you to offer you some dates for our community tree planting program.
