Achievement.

A Crowd funding milestone has remarkably been achieved early to fund a 50 m pathway.  Crowdfunding is continuing until 20 October to support funding for crucial woodland shrubs and a 35 m long stepped path. Please keep spreading the word to encourage further donations.

Over the last two weeks we have received some wonderful donations from you all which was crowned by match funding from the Sefton Council Community Transition Fund (see link below) amounting to a magnificent £3100. Which brings our donations to £8773 from an amazingly generous 121 donors. Https://www.spacehive.com/movement/seftoncrowd

Background to Rowlands Dell.

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 300 bin bags of litter and 25 tons of debris.

In Stage II (completed in November), with the help our NHS landowner partners we successfully obtained health and wellness grant (Maghull’s largest green investment) to fund an amazing legacy array of hard landscaping installations. These features provided accessibility for the whole community and included: 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.

Wishing you all lots of happiness and best wishes,

FOMD

Together making Maghull a better place to live.
