Venue & Tasks.

The Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) are meeting 4, Fieldway, Maghull (L31 5NB) for one hour on Saturday (1.2.25) at 09:30 hours, to remove three large plants from the front garden and transport them for planting at Rowlands Dell (time permitting).

Please be warned that it might be heavy work digging them out, due to their size (see picture).

Alternative lighter tasks (1) after the strong winds it would be fantastic if the twigs and branches could be collected into the main pile for future wildlife habitat creation, at Rowlands Dell. (2) bring watering cans to fill up from the water butts to water in the newly donated shrubs in the border above the new path. Until we arrive to dig in the donated shrubs.

Equipment needed: Spade, large garden fork, sturdy boots and garden gloves. Watering can.

Huge thanks for any help you can provide and if you can’t make it please consider a financial donation to boost our green restoration planting spectacular by visiting www.fomd.co.uk and hit the yellow donation button at the top right of the page.

Lots more volunteer opportunities will be coming up soon, so please keep an eye on our events calendar.

Huge thanks to one and all,

FOMD

Together making Maghull a better place to live.

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 in November, with our NHS landowner partners (expertly installed by subcontractors – PR England Landscapers) 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 for the whole community (accessible path, viewing/picnic area, sunken garden, bins, 10,000 bulbs and planting at small junction points, bug and bird boxes, and a dry waterfall feature). We are now engaging in stage three to repopulate Rowlands Dell with woodland planting and need your help.
