SUMMARY:Rowlands Dell Help Needed: for March Race to complete.
DESCRIPTION:Venue & Tasks. \nThe Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) need volunteers to meet at Rowlands Dell (adjacent to the Hare & Hounds Pub) for one hour on Saturday (8.3.25) at 09:30 hours\, to: \n\nHammer in hedge tree canes to secure them.\nWheelbarrow woodchip around new plants and the new Westway hedge to create an attractive mulch to hydrate trees and suppress competitive weeds.\nRemove debris created from Yew tree planting – whilst it is still visible to prevent damaging tools during future maintenance work.\nWater in the new Yew Tree Hedge and review planting to maximise its survival.\n\nEquipment needed: sturdy boots\, garden gloves\, and any of the following watering can\, wheelbarrow\, shovel\, lump hammer\, spade. \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. 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. \nThank You: amazingly you have planted 2589 trees between Rowlands Dell and St Gregory’s Primary School before the end of the planting season (end of March). Now the race is on to plant the donated shrubs\, check the Yew trees\, and remove the final debris before the spring growth starts. \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
