It’s Our World: Have your say on the future of Wirral’s woodlands

Dec 7 2011 by Jade Wright, Birkenhead News

WIRRAL’S nature lovers, dog walkers and joggers are being asked for their views about woodlands as part of a new campaign from The Mersey Forest.

The Love Your Woods? project is collecting people’s thoughts about their local woods in the run-up to Christmas.

The Mersey Forest is a growing network of woodlands and green spaces spread across Cheshire and Merseyside, which has been creating “woodlands on your doorstep” for 20 years.

It is one of the leading environmental regeneration initiatives in the North West.

Through community and partnership working, it has planted more than 8m trees, equivalent to five new trees for every person living within the Forest area.
