The Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) will be delighted to welcome any volunteers to our next weekly one-hour tidy up of Maghull, which is our newest and biggest environmental project yet, entitled the NHS Wellness Dell.
We will meet for one hour at 10 o’clock next Saturday (9.12.23) in the wooded area across the road from the Hare & Hounds Pub on Liverpool Rd North, Maghull.
On this occasion we are continuing to remove the ivy which is damaging the trees and walls, and litter picking from the ivy.
Consequently, please bring garden gloves, litter picker, secateurs, loppers, tree saw, axe, and sheers. Wrap up, as it could be a wet one! Check our website’s events page for any changes or further information at www.fomd.co.uk
In the last eight one-hour sessions remarkably we have now collected 74 bags of litter, a huge array of debris and 14 (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. On a festive theme we were visited by three wise men (local councillors: Lee Birchall, Mike Desmond and Phil Hart) who popped in, in between visiting local hospitality businesses to encourage them to make available the life-saving first aid bleed control kits.
Huge thanks to: Chris (B), Joanne, John and Jordan, (Main Picture L to R), and not pictured (camara shy!) Rebecca and Frank, for braving the cold, to remove ivy from several more tree trunks, litter picking, removing brick debris, resulting in two agricultural bags of tenaciously damaging Ivy from are last session on the 2.12.23.
Best Wishes,
FOMD
Together Making Maghull a Better Place to Live.
