Contractors acting on behalf of Knowsley Council are now busy installing pathways, site access and fishing pegs in order to bring this exciting piece of forgotten ground to life.

This former dumping ground has been a haven for wildlife since small trees and knee high grassland grew up amongst piles of soil waste.Miraculously a small pond formed giving life to a range of invertibrates.Local fishing enthusiasts have stocked the pond in recent years and the area has become a popular haunt away from the hustle and bustle of day to day life in nearby Northwood.

Funded by the Marks & Spencer's Greener Living Spaces fund (Groundwork) together with The Forestry Commission's Setting The Scene For Growth programme.This is part of the Newlands project supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency.

This project will open up a new wilder green space which will add to the variety outdoor experiences that local residences can enjoy.
