The Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) have planted 16,000 trees in Maghull since 2021, in parks, schools, roads and are now delighted to have secured woodland and hedge trees for St Gregory’s Primary School (1,370) and Rowlands Dell (1050).
Following the successful application the trees will be delivered at staggered intervals between January and March 2025, with considerable gratitude to the charitable suppliers – The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) and the Woodland Trust, supported by our brilliant long-term partners Mersey Forest.
At St Gregory’s the planting will create a wildlife friendly, pollution reducing 150m hawthorn hedge (950 trees) and woodland (420 trees) comprising of Common Oak, Green Beach, Birch, Alder, Hornbeam, Rowan, Field Maple, Hazel. It will importantly provide a great eco-educational opportunity for all the children and community volunteers, whilst providing a wonderful environmental legacy for future generations.
At Rowlands Dell the planting will create a wildlife friendly (habitat and food), pollution reducing (particulates, Co2 and noise) 141m hawthorn hedge (450 trees) and woodland (600 trees) comprising of Common Oak, Green Beach, Birch, Alder, Hornbeam, Rowan, Field Maple, Hazel. They will also help to screen the neighbouring traffic to provide an even more tranquil legacy haven for the community and wildlife.
Please Register ASAP to Help.
FOMD is only a small group, and our success has been achieved by bringing the community together. Consequently, we need everyone to register their interest for a massive tree planting program in the New Year by sending your contact details to admin@fomd.co.uk so we can get in touch with drop in planting dates between January and March. Please help our community to continue making a difference to our environment and do our bit for climate change. No commitment but any time you can give short or long will be invaluable and a bit of healthy fun along the way.
Huge thanks,
FOMD
Together Making Maghull a better place to live.
