Residents and Families Invited to Plant Trees on The Doggy

This Saturday 20th April 11.00a.m. till 2.30 p.m. The Mersey Forest will be helping local residents and families to further brighten the local park by continuing to plant small woodland trees to finish off the work that was done last year.

All are welcome so come on down and look for the Mersey Forest flag that will be flying between Church Rd and Verdi St.

The field is located 5 minutes walk from Litherland and Seaforth Station (right past Bowersdale Park onto Church Rd and past the church towards the docks) http://goo.gl/maps/zMepT

We will provide all the spades and trees for planting and are being assisted by The Seaforth Residents Action Group.

Make Seaforth brighter this summer!

Funding For Trees

This project was funded through Sefton Council's Green Spaces Team through Section 106 contributions from nearby developments.Match funding has previously been provided through the Living Through Change budget of the Housing Market Renewal initiative managed by Crosby Maritime Housing and the Setting The Scene For Growth Programme managed by The Forestry Commission on behalf of The Northwest Regional Development Agency and more lately BIS.Further funding is from Defra's Big Tree Plant and The Local Sustainable Transport Fund part funded by The Department of Transport.This is a joint delivery with 5 local authorities in Merseyside including Sefton Council. The project is coordinated by the Green Streets programme by The Mersey Forest.

On going management of the trees is also secured to secure a sustainable tree planting with the aim to increase the kilometres of routes greened along which people will be encouraged to walk and cycle to destinations of local recreation,training,education and work.
