Your Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) have another one-hour session, that you can simply drop into without any commitment, to help make a positive difference to yourself and the local environment.

On Monday (5.2.24) at 09.30 hrs, meeting at St George’s Primary School school entrance, accessed from the rear car park of the Baptist Church on  Old Hall Lane. (Please check the FOMD website events section for more details). We are undertaking some simple but important maintenance work on a few of our previously planted tree whips.

We will be removing any competitive grass from inside the tree protecting spirals to maximise growth, and simply reinserting canes and spirals wherever needed. It is a small but important job and may be the last time we need to undertake any maintenance here, fingers crossed.

Two years on, the 2,500 trees (part of Maghull’s 15,000) we planted on this site are looking really healthy. They were planted along the whole perimeter as hedging and two large copses on the perimeter of the playing fields. We had several days of fun planting with volunteers and the children, which was identified on the late Queen’s green canopy map. It has been maintained a few times since then and will also receive a grant for several large standard trees soon, from Northern Forest.

Equipment needed: It should be a sunny day and all you will need to bring are thick garden gloves.

Thank You for Your Kind Support at Pimbley Field (01.02.24):

Last Thursday we maintained final tree enclosure completing the grand total of 2500 trees.

Huge thank you to Joan, Jan (and Clare and Frank not pictured)
