Dell Project.

Our last two sessions on 20 and 27.1.24 have really been showing progress from our brilliant volunteers and represent our 12th and 13th consecutive one-hour sessions at the Dell. Remarkably we have now collected 91 bin bags of litter, a huge array of debris and 22 (even more not bagged!) agricultural bags of tree and wall damaging Ivy, receiving some wonderful feedback and clearly seeing the difference every time we are there.

Recent achievements:

  • The Ivy has now been removed off every protected vulnerable tree and sandstone wall.
  • Focus now on the ground Ivy which has entwined huge amounts of debris and litter.
  • Cleared a massive amount of the neighbours debris (bricks, roofing slates and felt) and brush cutting vegetation to provide a suitable 40 x 1m border to plant 250 wildlife friendly hedge whips (courtesy of Mersey Forest) and about 20 small fruit bushes (courtesy of Maghull in Bloom) in the near future.

Huge thanks to:

20.1.24  Diane and John for litter picking two more bin bags and braving the uncertain weather.

27.1.24 Joan (G), Graeme, John, Joanne, Joan, Ken (visiting Mayor of Maghull), Diane and Chris. Frank not pictured. Not forgetting Jill who has been making a huge impact during the week) for preparing the ground for the 40 m wildlife friendly hedge.

Dell Update: having consulted over three years to provide green improvements, we are now waiting with great anticipation for the imminent feedback from the landscape architect’s planning approval.
