The Friends of the Hollows Group is a group of local volunteers who live near the Hollows, an old Roman road leading to Wilderspool (Warrington) from Chester.
The Friends Group aims to work with the Council and other organisations to restore the path and its bordering land to a cared for state and to help it become a much loved and well used feature of the neighbourhood.
The Friends of the Hollows comes under the auspices of Transition Chester a constituted, not for profit community group based in Chester whose purpose is to enable local people to live lives with less carbon in an area with rich biodiversity. Transition Chester was formed in 2008.
Transition Chester will hold and account for all funds raised for the Hollows Project which will involve volunteers in creating a Roman food path together with wildflower planting to help local wildlife.
The work will involve the building of accessible street planters which will be planted up with herbs and food plants the Romans brought to Britain and along the path, fruit trees brought by the Romans such as apples, pears and cherries will be planted and managed and which will eventually fruit for all to share.
