The event kicked off early and as planting started even passers by got involved with the planting.By 2 p.m. all the trees had been planted and some residents were turned away.
It is now hoped to follow up the planting with wildflower sowing in the coming weeks to complete the effect of creating a copse planting feature and woodland walk.
Tom Sullivan of Seaforth Residents Action Group said 'getting local children involved in events like this and e.g. the christmas tree decorating in nearby Bowersdale Park is very important for community morale and shows what can be done with a little joint effort'
Ben Greenaway of The Mersey Forest said 'This is another successful planting as part of The Big Tree Plant across Merseyside where we have now planted over 15,000 sapling trees.Creating green spaces where people can get away from inner city life is an important aspect of our work'.
