Join a community group

Whether you've got a little time or a lot, taking part in a community group to care for local woodlands is a great way to meet new people, enjoy the fresh air and learn new skills.

The Mersey Forest supports a number of 'Friends of the woodlands' groups across Merseyside and North Cheshire, based in the following areas:

 

Cheshire:

Knowsley: 

Liverpool:

Sefton:

St.Helens:

Warrington

 

 

What do the groups do?

While each group differs, the types of activities they get involved in include practical task days to care for their woodlands, organising events in the woodland (from teddy bears' picnics to plays and concerts) and learning new skills, for example through bird identification courses or wildlife photography workshops.
