Sarah Pollard and her son Tom (Local Saxon Tree Services) for the second time in two months and on many other occasions throughout the year generously responded for free to the Friends of Maghull and District (FOMD) call out for support to tame a perimeter ivy hedge at the Rowlands Dell community project (adjacent to the Hare & Hounds pub).
On Wednesday morning (26.11.24) they spontaneously and generously returned to join our one-hour volunteer initiative, to trim the hedge and final ground ivy to make it neater, improve public pavement accessibility whilst importantly creating a space for a new galvanised arch entrance from Westway and completing the preparation for future tree planting. They also provided a fantastic spotless clean up, all for free and for the good of the whole community.
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, our NHS landowner partners, 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 to the whole community. We are now engaging in stage three to repopulate Rowlands Dell with woodland planting and need your help for the following:
