Young Stars of The Sea do Seaforth Residents Proud
Young 'green team' helpers from local school Our Lady Star of The Sea helped local community group members plant annual flowering plants around newly planted trees on Seaforth Rd, Sefton.
Earlier in the week pupils of Rimrose Hope planted perennial plants around three trees on a green space fronting Seaforth Rd helped by community members and Green Streets staff.
Ben Greenaway Green Streets Coordinator for The Mersey Forest said "it is always a pleasure to see the enthusiasm of young people for making a difference to their local environment.This event shows the pride that local people have in their street environment"
The events were funded by Crosby Housing Association managing the Living Through Change funding as part of the Housing Market Renewal Fund.
Trees were planted through the Sefton Trees and Woodlands Department from a Section 106 allocation.Green Streets, that works with communities to plant street trees across Merseyside is supported by The Forestry Commission, through the Setting The Scene for Growth programme which is funded by the Northwest Regional Development Agency.
