Volunteer Week 2025
Had a cracking day working with some of the #TCVMerseyside #GreenGym volunteers in the #CountessofChesterCountryPark getting the site by the old dipping platform ready for the official unveiling of Kirk Russell's Dragonfly sculpture next Friday.
Fabulous day with #TCVMerseyside #GreenGym volunteers in #CountessofChesterCountryPark removing the brambles and vegetation from around the trees planted in 2018
Huge thanks to Pete Simcoe of Simcoemedia for this action photo of me and Mike from @friendscoccp.bsky.social installing a new post on one of the #CountessofChesterCountryPark trails. We had our #TCVMerseyside 'hats' on for this job though .. OK, hi-vis!
Before and after.
Way-marker post replaced in the #CountessofChesterCountryPark today. Joint #FriendsCoCCP & #TCVMerseyside activity. It's on the 2 mile Silva's Trail and the #parkrun A course route.
An old article but, in my opinion, it's spot on. We were only talking about exactly this in the #CountessCountryPark on Friday during a #TCVMerseyside #GreenGym lunch break.

The #TCVMerseyside #GreenGym volunteers braved the cold on Friday to crack on with the hedgelaying in the #CountessCountryPark
Sadly the Dipping Platform in #CountessCountryPark has been deemed unsafe. On Friday #FriendsCoCCP & #TCVMerseyside removed the posts & rails & used them to construct a new fence across it. This is part 1 of a project to create a new wetland experience for the community.

It was a cracking day yesterday to be working with the #TCVMerseyside Friday #GreenGym volunteers laying hedges in the #CountessCountryPark. Below zero but, it was dry, the skies were blue and no wind.
On Fri my team of #TCVMerseyside #GreenGym volunteers set about rescuing a smaller orchard in #CountessCountryPark on land belonging to @cwpnhs.bsky.social. It missed a prune last year & we're late this year, furthermore brambles had overtaken it. Careful thought has to be given as to where to cut.
