In Wirral we have been working with Tomorrow's Women Wirral, to transform the outdoor space in the grounds of their centre. The women's centre is in the midst of creating a new sensory garden to host relaxation and reading activities, help the ladies learn about food growing, as well as give them a space to sit and enjoy wildlife. The donation of trees from the Mersey Forest is helping them to realise their dream of a relaxing outdoor space which also provides a valuable habitat for wildlife.

We have also been working with Holy Cross Catholic Primary School to plant a hedge and an orchard in their school grounds. Pupils of all ages joined in with the hedge planting, creating a valuable wildlife habitat and learning lots about The Mersey Forest and how to plant and care for trees. A dedicated team of older pupils carried out some tricky excavation works to plant the orchard trees, which should start to bear fruit within a couple of seasons. Everyone involved had lots of fun and will be looking forward to tasting the different apple varieties!
