Thanks to Left Bank Pictures and the crew and cast of This City is Ours, 1,180 trees have been planted at both a primary school in Liverpool and at an exciting project to expand and diversify woodland at Higher Wych, an hour's drive to the south.

​​

At Higher Wych, our partners at the Mersey Forest, used a range of planting methods, from traditional and natural regeneration to black poplar, Miyawakimicro-woodland and hedge creation, to get the trees in the ground. The new trees extend Scholars Wood, forming a richer mosaic of habitats that will boost biodiversity, strengthen connectivity and build natural resilience for the future.

​​

Work has also included creating ponds, scrapes and bunds to aid natural flood management, improving the public right of way, and safeguarding the site’s historic features within open spaces.
