Spotlight on Altcar - "A greener place than 20 years ago"
On top of planting 100,000 trees over the past two decades, Altcar Training Camp has now become an important venue for woodland training courses – helping to make Sefton an even greener place.
The Training Camp has been a major tree planter over the past 20 years, including the creation of the site's Army Cadet Force woodland in 2005 with funding from a Mersey Forest ICEP Grant. It has been a key landowner within the Sefton Coast Woodlands Forest Plan partnership, with the site's young pines important to the future of the area's red squirrels.
The next chapter in the story of the site will see a programme of woodland thinning taking place this winter to ensure the future health of the young woodland and to improve conditions for wildlife. This work, spanning 18 hectares (an area the size of 25 football pitches), will also help to meet the objectives of the Sefton Coast Woodlands Forest Plan.
As well as improving its own woodland, Altcar Training Camp is also now an important venue for woodland training courses. In September 2011, it hosted a one-day course as part of The Mersey Forest's Woodland Advisory Service for local woodland owners and managers about how to generate income from timber sales. This forms part of The Mersey Forest's drive to support both the supply of and demand for local timber in Merseyside and Cheshire in order to strengthen the rural economy and promote local renewable materials.
A course for fellow landowners within the Sefton Coast Woodlands Forest Plan was also held at Altcar this year, focusing on encouraging good silvicultural practice within the woodlands.
