Trees For Seaforth Streets


When Seaforth residents asked Green Streets Coordinator Ben Greenaway for trees on their streets they got more than they bargained for.They were'nt just going to get trees they would have to work towards them.As the saying goes Green Streets 'A Grant don't come for free' or was it 'a Grand' by The Streets?

Firstly they would need to find a funding source, then carry out some evaluation with residents to see what people in the area felt about their neighbourhood and the desire for trees.

From the outset it seemed that parts of Seaforth had trees but others seemed neglected and lifeless.Certainly some of the shops seemed to have been abandoned and there was green slime growing on the upper stories of some of the buildings.The pub had broken windows.It needed a little brightening up!...check in soon to see what happens next....

Contact ben on ben@merseyforest.org.uk or on 01925 816 217 for more details!
or to get an information pack and evaluation form.
