Alongside planting at a number of school sites across Liverpool this winter, we will be planting 1,180 trees at the Higher Wych project, an exciting opportunity to expand and diversify local woodland.

​

Here, our partners working at the Mersey Forest, will be using a range of planting methods, from traditional and natural regeneration to black poplar, Miyawakimicro-woodland and hedge creation. The new planting will extend Scholars Wood, forming a richer mosaic of habitats that boosts biodiversity, strengthens connectivity and builds resilience for the future.

Work will also include creating ponds, scrapes and bunds to aid natural flood management, improve the public right of way, and safeguard the site’s historic features within open spaces.
