SUMMARY:Maghull: Say Goodbye to Those Unwanted Festive Pounds by Using the FOMD Exercise Plan!!!
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) are meeting for one hour tomorrow to plant over 20 trees and shrubs and any other kindly donated woodland themed plants that you may wish to bring along e.g. rhododendrons\, hydrangeas\, azaleas\, ferns\, heathers\, maple and fern trees etc. \nWe are meeting on Saturday 4.1.25 at 11:00 hours (for one hour only) at Rowlands Dell (opposite the Hare and Hounds Pub). \nWe are simply digging holes to plant the trees/shrubs\, so you will need the essential sturdy boots\, garden gloves\, and a spade. Despite all the warm heartedness it might be a chilly one so please wrap up well. \nHuge 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. \nLots more volunteer opportunities will be coming up soon\, so please keep an eye on our events calendar. \nHuge thanks and happy New Year to one and all\, \nFOMD \nTogether making Maghull a better place to live. \nBackground. \nThis 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. \nPictured: the trees that need planting. Due to the exhausted NHS grant funding\, we are enormously grateful for the community tree donations and 18 received from Mersey Forest (following the dissembling of a Tatton Park display including: Hornbeam\, Cherry\, Hazel\, Hawthorne\, Beech\, Oak\, Maple) that we transported from the Dell holding area\, to provide further interest along the pathway\, alongside many other future woodland zones of interest. \nPlease Join Our Massive tree planting (2\,500) program in Maghull & Lydiate early in the new year. Please register your interest ASAP by emailing admin@fomd.co.uk with your contact details and we will be delighted to get back to you to offer you some dates for our community tree planting program. \nMore information at www.fomd.co.uk including: (1) Events tab for everything about the meeting and (2) Projects tab for the project background. \nMore information. www.fomd.co.uk \nContact: admin@fomd.co.uk \n#fomdcic #Maghull #Environment

SUMMARY:Urgent  Tree Planting Volunteers Needed  Starting This Week!
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Friends of Maghull & District’s (FOMD) climate action & environmental improvements we have our first 2025 tree planting (950 Trees!) sessions this  \nFriday 17th January 2025\, from 0930 hours\,   \nat St Gregory’s Primary School\,  \nSandy Lane\, Lydiate. L31 2LB  \nEssentials: please bring sturdy boots\, garden gloves and a spade.  \nMore information: on this and future events like this please check our ‘Events’ page at: www.fomd.co.uk (scan QR) or contact admin@fomd.co.uk \nWith your help we are hoping to plant 950 trees in January with more to follow in February and March. \nPlease Register ASAP to Help. \nThe Friends of Maghull & District (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 this 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. \nThe 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 (1\,275). \nFollowing 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) The Woodland Trust\, The Tree Council and supported by our brilliant long-term partners Mersey Forest. \nAt 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. \nAt 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. Another hedge will comprise of 225 Yew trees and will complement the 350 mixed wildlife friendly hedging planted earlier this year. They will also help to screen the neighbouring traffic to provide an even more tranquil legacy haven for the community and wildlife. \nSadly\, Maghull has lost approximately 500 mature trees due to Ash dieback and Dutch Elm disease\, whilst many green spaces are being lost for housebuilding\, consequently your help will make a massive difference. \nHuge thanks\, \nFOMD \nTogether Making Maghull a better place to live. \nMore information. www.fomd.co.uk \nContact: admin@fomd.co.uk \n#fomdcic #Maghull #Environment \n

SUMMARY:Generous Shrub Donations Need Digging out to Be Transported and Planted at Rowlands Dell: Can You Help?
DESCRIPTION:Venue & Task. \nThe Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) are meeting 109 Moss Lane\, Maghull (L31 9AF) for one hour on Saturday (25.1.25) at 09:30 hours\, to remove all the plants from the front garden and transport them for planting at Rowlands Dell (time permitting). \nPlease be warned that it might be heavy work digging them out\, as they have been growing under semipermeable sheeting covered in slate chippings\, with some being a decent size. However\, there are some smaller ones\, so we might be able to spread the work. Please see picture. \nAlternatively\, 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\, until we arrive with the donated shrubs. \nEquipment needed: Spade\, large garden fork\, sturdy boots and garden gloves. \nHuge 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. \nLots more volunteer opportunities will be coming up soon\, so please keep an eye on our events calendar. \nHuge thanks to one and all\, \nFOMD \nTogether making Maghull a better place to live. \nBackground. \nThis 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.
