This is short film about the activity of scything. Filmed over approximately and hour, the use of time lapse enables us to see the work taking place and the effectiveness of the scythe. I'm often asked 'why use a scythe?'... because it's sympathetic to the plants around, clearing the overgrowth and allowing the important plants and flowers for pollinators to thrive. The the action of scything is selective, great exercise and lets you spend lots time outdoors!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565794984223321436.post-32024705755198869362018-05-08T05:57:00.001-07:002018-05-08T05:57:20.401-07:00A Little Bit of Spring Cleaning<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Just letting you know about some of the voluntary work that took place over the May bank holiday weekend.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As volunteers for Sustrans and the Trans Pennine Trail we attended the Meadow area of the Cheshire Lines path just off Sefton Lane, Maghull. This is a very popular area for walkers, cyclist and tourists passing through particularly at this time of year. Unfortunately it is also often seen by some as and an area for littering and dog fouling. Oliver aged 8 and myself managed to pick 4 bin bags full of litte<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">r, fill a bucket full of dog poo and also remove a flytipped TV and iron.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
In an effort to enhance wildlife habitat and retain the accessibility of the path for the visitors, we also cleared nettles from around the benches and scattered some wildflower seeds.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Sadly though even whilst we were there and obviously working (we had signs and bunting up) to clear the land...on two occasions which I didn't spot, Some dog owners allowed their pets to foul the path again! Unbelievable! As volunteers of the two organisations we are partnered with the local councils. I will be approaching them to discuss real methods of monitoring, reporting and enforcing laws surrounding dog fouling for this area.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Any help and support that can be offered in the future, it would be great to hear from you...Thanks</div>

The Meadow area forms part of the Cheshire Lines cycle, walking and horse riding route (NCN 62 and Trans Pennine Trail). Volunteers over the last few years have cleared overgrowth, installed benches and planted wildflowers gradually creating a habitat for wildlife and a welcome space for the community and Trail users that use this resource (Please see the video below and previous posts on this blog site). Unfortunately, despite the signage, this area is seen by some as a wasteland area and is often misused as a place to discard litter, allow dog fouling and occasional A.S.B.<br />

<br />
Now that Spring is here (YAY Finally!), the plants have begun to grow back. This often covers the litter that has been discarded and can be detrimental to the bugs and wildlife that exist in the area. It takes a lot of volunteer effort to maintain this area of land and we would greatly appreciate any help that can be offered to clear some of this litter. If you can spare half an hour or so, it would be great to see you!<br />
<ul>
<li>Litter pickers and bin bags are provided.</li>
<li>We are are able to provide some protective gloves, but if you have your own, please bring along with you.</li>
<li>You won't be asked to clear dog fouling, just let us know and we will sort that!</li>
<li>We recommend wearing sturdy footwear /or wellies and long trousers.</li>
<li>Sefton Meadows Garden Centre and Cafe are next door/short walk to us for refreshments.</li>
<li>If you are able to make it (so I can account for numbers), perhaps you could send me a quick message? </li>

Here's an idea ... The Lydiate Village festival (<a href="http://lydiatevillagefestival.co.uk/">http://lydiatevillagefestival.co.uk/</a>) is taking place a not too far away and starts at 1pm. Perhaps you could combine a litter pick and gentle walk along the Cheshire Lines followed by a visit to the festival?<br />

Seriously... things have been going on, but they have been a bit... let's say fiddly really. I have posted a few bits and pieces on our facebook feed but perhaps not as much as I should have. Sorry again! Anyway this is the big bit of information from over the last months of non-web posts for the volunteers of Merseyside North... We now have a volunteer base on The Meadow area of Maghull in the form of a converted shipping container.<br />

Winter seems like it has been going on for ages but it's starting to look like there are some signs of spring around. With spring brings some more regular activities at the Meadow and around the Merseyside North region. I'm currently forming a list of activities and jobs that would greatly benefit from volunteer involvement... Examples such as...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Regular litter picking</li>
<li>Wildlife and habitat management</li>
<li>Painting</li>
<li>Brush clearing</li>
<li>Planting</li>
<li>Sowing of Wildflower seeds</li>
<li>Bird house installation</li>
<li>NCN and TPT Signing in the area</li>
<li>Attending events to publicise Sustrans, The Trans Pennine Trail and the work we do.</li>
<li>The list goes on... any other jobs you can think of?</li>
</ul>
<div>
If you would like to be involved in any of the above, it would be great to hear from you. We don't push for regular involvement however, whatever time you can offer is always greatly appreciated.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just a brief post for now but please keep in touch for regular updates as we grow our activities.</div>

There are various activities taking place through the day and you are invited to come along to the project site. We have been awarded funding to transform this area of land from a misused, overgrown stretch of path into an area that will be of benefit to the community, path users and also the wildlife of the area. Over the past year, we have cleared a large majority of the brambles and overgrowth, installed benches, begun to install bird and bug houses and scattered wildflower seeds. In preparation for the 14th May, we have ordered 500 wildflower plants ready to be planted on the site. This is your opportunity to come along, visit and discuss the project... take away some information... and if you can, <b><u>lend a hand!</u></b> Please also take this opportunity to walk or cycle along the this area of the Cheshire Lines (NCN 62/Trans Pennine Trail)... It's a beautiful and amazing resource that we have in our area!</div>

A slightly daunting task lay ahead on grey and blustery day today. The focus, to clear the remaining brambles and brush in preparation for wildflower seeding, planting and installation of some of the benches. The growth of branches and brambles in this section of The Meadow were probably the most established (and probably the reason clearing it has been left until last!). But we jumped straight in with scythes, brush hooks and bow saws. Hard but satisfying work and a few hours later (plus a few minor bramble scratches), the majority of the section was clear of the main growth. One more work day and it should be complete. Again, it was all positive comments and compliments from those passing by which is a massive encouragement as a volunteer.</div>

Spring is certainly on its way and we will be keeping a close eye as things begin to wake up from their winter sleep. I think the nettles will probably win the race and so will need careful monitoring and scything control to give the wildflowers the best possible chance.</div>

It's been a personally reflective time for me this week with The Meadow project. It has also certainly been eventful as the project has moved up a gear as spring quickly approaches. Over half term I took the opportunity to book some holiday time away from my work. It has also been an opportunity to tick a few of the Meadow jobs off the list. The increased pace of the project and my active involvement in the project has led me to fully recognise how physical volunteer activity can lead to raising the awareness in the community to the local issues and resources that are available. On three separate occasions and three separate locations this week the activities have led to talking. People passing by see the activity taking place resulting in questions being asked...This is then an opportunity to introduce members of the local community to the resources of the paths and cycle routes in our area together with the environmental benefits we are hoping to enhance through The Meadow project.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The week commenced with some bug base building and sign making for The Meadow site. This was followed by the delivery of a serious amount of timber and some heavy duty cutting taking place. Part of the timber is being transformed into sleeper benches and the remaining pieces are to be used as Monolith sign posts and display boards. If you are available over the coming weeks, any assistance that can be offered with the installation of the benches and signs would be greatly appreciated...please let me know when you might be available and I can try and make arrangements to organise some activity... email me <a href="mailto:jc@photoreal.co.uk">jc@photoreal.co.uk</a></div>

The week concluded on Sunday the 19th of February 2017 as we ventured out on a rather drizzly morning. Base camp was quickly pitched with the mission of installing the bug base and sign built through the week together with some of the purchased bird houses. I'm keen to get as many of the bird houses in place for the beginning of march and the nesting season.</div>

Another cold day down at the Meadow. The aim of the day was some brush clearing, litter picking and a bit of path edging. We pitched up base camp and set up an information point to engage some of the people passing by.</div>

Unfortunately two strokes in with the scythe and I managed to snap the handle. After a brief moment of sadness and grief at my loss, I continued to clear away with the edge of a spade... obviously nowhere near as efficient as the scythe! All the same, some progress made but not as much as I had hoped to achieve.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Some of the discussions I had on site today gave me time to reflect on the project and why I personally with the assistance of others are creating the Meadow. As well as many of the compliments I receive about the Meadow project I hear in equal amounts, the negatives about the site or area... </span><i style="text-align: justify;">'The dog fouling is awful along here'... 'It's a lovely idea to install benches... but they'll just come along and set fire to them'</i><span style="text-align: justify;">. Also sadly today, there were a few signs of anti-social off road motor bikes. Deep tire marks have ripped up some of the ground. But I guess this (and other reasons) is why I as many others, venture out as a volunteer for Sustrans and the Trans Pennine Trail... One person drops a piece of litter... another person picks it up... the visible and environmental damage has been counteracted (I always aim to fill at least one bin bag with litter whilst I'm out). It would be deeply saddening if someone purposefully damaged, destroyed or defaced some of the work we are doing at the Meadow. In my mind, this would be an opportunity and reason to try even harder, plan bigger, and focus on what I believe is important. It's always going to be a balancing act, but I hope, after time, the balance will tip in our favour. I can honestly say that I do believe the work that has been done so far has improved the site with the removal of litter. I also think that the dog fouling has decreased (but there's certainly room for improvement with this!). Onward to the next day!</span><br />

If you believe you could spare a little or a lot of time to help out... it would be great to hear from you. I'm not asking you to sign up with Sustrans or the Trans Pennine Trail as a volunteer (although that would be great!) I'm just hoping for a few extra hands to assist and help the project reach its full potential. Please email me <a href="mailto:jc@photoreal.co.uk">jc@photoreal.co.uk</a><br />

Unfortunately there has been a slight delay in the delivery of the rail sleepers and wood for the benches and signs. However, there is still plenty to work on a the Meadow. The general clear up will continue on Sunday 12th Feb (litter picking and cutting back etc) and hopefully we can begin to install some of the bird boxes over the coming week.The wood is due for delivery this week so I will update information here as we progress. Once again, if you are able to assist on one of the work days, please ensure you let me know so I can best facilitate. Email jc@photoreal.co.uk</div>

<br>
Thank you to those of you who have been keeping us updated of issues
on or around our local cycle routes and footpaths. If you are out
and about or do any maintenance, do keep us posted (TPT, Sustrans
and myself). I wanted to update you all with activities that are
coming up for the Meadow site. The Meadow site is clear (thanks to
a number of volunteers and rather large group of scouts from the
area) and wildflower seeds have been scattered. Winter is assisting
in keeping any weed growth away but unfortunately a small number of
inconsiderate dog walkers have been about. Light fly-tipping and
discarded litter has also taken place. I'm keen to get things
rolling again at the site and cleared up with the Meadow project due
for completion. The near by recycling centre have said that they
will assist so litter picking is high on the agenda of activities.
I've 'pencilled in' the following activities for the coming
months...<br>
<br>
<b>Sunday 29th Jan 2017. 10am-1pm</b> Clearing vegetation around
entrance areas to the site in preparation for planting. <br>
Path edging and litter picking.<br>
<b>Saturday 4th Feb 2017. 1pm-3.30pm</b> Photography Walk. Grab your
walking boots and that new camera you got for <br>
Christmas to join me in exploring the area around the Meadow. The
aim is to capture images that can potentially <br>
be incorporated into artwork and signage on the Meadow site. It’s
also an opportunity to do a bit of litter picking whilst<br>
we’re out.<br>
<b>Sunday 12th Feb 2017 10am-onwards.</b> Installing signage
sleepers and benches.<br>
<b>Sunday 19th Feb 2017 10am-onwards.</b> Installing signage
sleepers and benches.<br>
<b>Sunday 26th Feb 2017 10am-1pm</b> General site maintenance,
litter picking, bird table installation.<br>
<b>Sunday 5th March 2017 10am-1pm</b> Clearing weed growth,
planting.<br>
<b>Sunday 12th March 2017 10am-1pm</b> Clearing weed growth,
planting and install signage.<br>
<b>Sunday 26th March 2017 10am- onwards.</b> Edge path, wildflower
reseed, Project completion celebration <br>
<b>April Onwards</b>... Activities and maintenance will progress
beyond the Meadow site in particular up the Cheshire Lines.<br>
<br>
Extra dates will be added as the site activity progresses. You
should check this website for revised times, amendments and any
further information. All activities start or take place on the
Meadow site. Any children should be accompanied by an adult. We
suggest you wear sturdy suitable footwear and clothing that you
don’t mind getting a little muddy. Sefton Meadows Garden Centre
cafe is close by but I will endeavour to provide some light
refreshments on site. Any assistance that can be provided in the

<p dir="ltr">Next Saturday (24th September, 10am onwards) the Lydiate scouts are assisting us by taking part in a sponsored litter pick on the Maghull/Lydiate area of Trans Pennine Trail/NCN 62.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whilst they are litter picking in the area, I am planning to continue to clear The Meadow site in preparation for wildflower seeding. The Meadow site is at the beginning of the Cheshire Lines in Maghull, just off Sefton Drive, next to Sefton Meadows Garden Centre and the recycling centre. If any of you are available, I could really do with some assistance in raking the cut vegetation and clearing the ground. If you have not visited the site, It would also be an opportunity for me to introduce and discuss the Meadow project. I can also explain the bigger plan with this project and its impact for our area and all areas of the Trail. If you are available, it would be great to see you there. I have limited tools at this point and if you are able to bring a rake, it would be a great help. I also suggest you wear appropriate clothing for this type of task as the majority of what is being cleared is brambles and nettles. Please provide your own refreshments... although there is a cafe available at the Sefton Meadows Garden Centre.

Our area group has recently been awarded £12,000 from Tescos 'Bags of Help' to create a wildflower meadow and community space which is to be located on the Cheshire Lines, part of Trans Pennine Trail in Maghull.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Our efforts to transform this space start on S<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">aturday. Steve Tomlinson is visiting to run a training course in Scything. The course will run on Saturday and Sunday of the 27th & 28th August 2016 between 10am-4pm. There are spaces still available on the course and are free to those of you interested in the Meadow project, interested in potentially volunteering and to give a taste of what it is to volunteer with Sustrans and the Trans Pennine Trail. I've added some links to this message to provide extra information and if you are interested please email me asap - jc@photoreal.co.uk. Thanks!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">In the Merseyside North area at Southport we are also honoured to have the Beginning/End point of the Trans Pennine Trail. The Trans Pennine Trail is an internationally recognised and exciting route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders linking the North and Irish Seas, passing through the Pennines, alongside rivers and canals and through some of the most historic towns and cities in the North of England. National cycle route 62 which runs through our area of Merseyside North is part of The Trans Pennine Trail.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Being a volunteer with Sustrans and the Trans Pennine Trail can entail as much or as little involvement as you wish. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to attend every event or activity, It means that if you enjoy and care about our area, are a cyclist, walker or someone who uses the cycle network and connecting paths then there is a part that you can play. We work with in close communication with local authorities and as a network can share information and assist in monitoring, maintaining and developing the amazing resources we have in our area of Merseyside North. There is also often the opportunity to develop new skills and obtain training.</span></div>

Activities are about to start in clearing and developing this project. Again there are many areas of the project that volunteers can be involved in and it would be great to have your support.</span><br />

paths and trails. With the emergence of spring and the current good
weather, we will obviously begin to see an increase in the users of the
NCN. This is a request for your support... If you are out and notice
any signage that is damaged, missing, moved or a certain trail could
benefit from the addition of some new signs... could you please let me
know? Please email me with any location details and if possible include
pictures. If any issues can be tackled with temporary sticker signage,
I'll be out over the coming weeks with some of the stock of signage
that I hold. If it is signage that needs to be ordered or are of a more
permanent nature, I'll pass the information onto the relevant
departments or council contacts.<br />

As we have announced in previous posts on Merseysidenorth.uk, we are recipients of Tesco's 'Bags of Help' grant. Today Friday 19th of February we ventured out to the site of 'The Meadow' to begin tidying. There is plenty of work to be done on the site and it was excellent to get started. It's amazing how much interest and support you can gather from, what is a basic activity... litter picking! It's also satisfying to know that through this action you are also benefiting the habitat for the wildlife of the area.</div>

We did mange to accumulate approximately 10 bags of rubbish and a wheelie bin full of two prams, a fire extinguisher, parts of a hoover and solid bag of cement.... I think we made an impact with our litter pick so many, many thanks to all of those who took part. </div>

<br />
Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help initiative in hundreds of regions across England and Wales. The scheme will see three community groups and projects in each of these regions awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge.<br />

<br />
Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s 390 regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags. The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.<br />

We need your votes on the 27th of February 2016!<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are proud to announce that our volunteer group and you as the local community of Merseyside North are recipients of Tesco's 'Bags of Help' initiative (#BagsofHelp). We are asking you to visit your local Tesco store between the 27th of February and the 6th of March 2016 and vote for our project 'The Meadow'. Your vote could help us obtain £10000 or possibly £12000 to help us make a real difference in your community.</div>

We are proposing to develop an area of Sustrans owned land to the rear of Sefton Drive in Maghull for the benefit of the community. This area of land is part of the National Cycle Network that forms route 62 and the Trans Pennine Trail. We would like to bring together our current volunteers and the local community of all ages and abilities to assist in removing overgrown vegetation, cultivate and develop the area of land into a wildflower meadow with the particular benefit to the bee and butterfly population that is in decline. We would also like to encourage other forms of wildlife by installing bat and bird boxes, hedgehog houses and insect hotels. For the local community we want this to be an area where they can visit for pleasure and leisure whilst walking or cycling. For those from the wider community we would like this to be a resting or turning point on the very popular NCN route 62 of the Trans Pennine Trail. £8000 would give us the tools, equipment, resources and seeds to clear the land, prepare and cultivate the area. £12000 would give us the means to sustain the project beyond this initial phase to be productive and self sufficient. We would provide permanent furniture for the community and those on their travels to rest a while, storage for the tools and equipment and hospitality facilities to increase the comfort of our community, visitors and volunteers.</div>

Currently the proposed project area of land approximately 150x30m is featureless, misused and overgrown with brambles and weeds with little flora value. There is a tarmac path (NCN 62) running through the land which is often subject to littering and dog fouling. The area of land does have the benefit of control gates in order to stop motorised vehicles and some well established trees between the houses and the path. The project also has the potential to draw in wildlife and species from neighboring land to create a green, bio-diverse corridor. The area of land is accessible 24/7, 365 days of the year. We know the project is achievable, we just need the support of your votes in Tesco stores on the 27th of February 2016 to make the funds happen.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.76px;">Basic Litter Pick. Friday 19th of February between 11am and 1pm. A recent inspection of the area has taken place and litter is in abundance. This area of Sustrans owned land is part of the National Cycle Network that forms route 62 and the Trans Pennine Trail. The Sefton Meadows Garden Centre and Cafe are in close proximity for refreshments. Please also feel free to incorporate this into a bike ride or walk along the TPT Cheshire Lines. I'll supply litter pickers, bin bags and basic equipment. I don't envision any heavy lifting or hard labour, but please wear suitable clothing (Sustrans Hi-Vis if you have one). If you can make it, could you let me know so that i can facilitate. Many Thanks... email jc@photoreal.co.uk</span></div>

Due to the recent and continued heavy rain, surface water is not draining and field drainage ditches are full. Large pools, hidden potholes and mud exist along this section of the Trail and you are advised to take care.<br />
