Summer events in The Mersey Forest

There's lots going on in The Mersey Forest in this summer, from family fun days to green infrastructure seminars. See below for our pick of this summer's events and feel free to contact us if you'd like more information. 

Sunday 22 June 2014

Risley Moss Local Nature Reserve, Birchwood, Warrington, WA3 8QX

Join us as we celebrate the launch of The Mersey Forest Plan at a woodland carnival at Risley Moss. 

There'll be lots of fun activities to get the whole family involved in, from willow-weaving and den building to solar-powered music - and there's also going to be cake! As Party in the Woods is part of Warrington Council's Green Safari Day, the day is set to feature lots of other stalls and activities too. 

Friday 27 June 2014
Rum Warehouse, Liverpool

We'll be holding a green infrastructure seminar as part of the International Festival for Business to show how woodlands and green spaces can boost investability. 

Speakers will include Richard Mawdsley, Development Manager at Peel, and Tom Armour, Head of Landscape Architecture at Arup.

Sunday 23 August 2014

Ilchester Park, Birkenhead, Wirral 

We're organising a community event to celebrate the work we've been doing to improve Ilchester Park. 

Earlier this year we were awarded £67,000 from Veolia Environmental Trust to put life back into this underused green space, and as a result the park will see £100,000 worth of investment by 2015. The improvements will include the construction of accessible paths and a natural play area. 

The project accompanies our Wirral Green Streets project, which has seen over 600 trees planted in Birkenhead as part of the Wirral Waters development.

We'll keep you posted about the details of this event - in the meantime, read more about our work in Wirral.
