Create Mosspits’ forest school! This project will create a biodiverse, educational garden with eco-friendly features and year-round usability. Support us to foster environmental education & community
Support Our Forest School at Mosspits We’re launching a campaign to enhance the forest school area at Mosspits, fostering a thriving, biodiverse environment for students and the community. Led by passionate advocates for green spaces, this project aims to integrate ecological, educational, and artistic elements into the school’s outdoor area. The project will transform the forest school area into a high-yield, low-maintenance garden that supports climate resilience, waste reduction, and environmental literacy. Key features include natural water cleaning processes, composting areas, and green energy projects. The space will be usable year-round with shelters and strategic planting. Workshops and activities will engage students in hands-on learning about composting, biodiversity, and sustainable agriculture. Students will monitor air quality, explore permaculture, and help reduce car travel to school. The garden will feature wildlife-friendly installations and diverse plan
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This project will significantly benefit students, the school, and the local community. By establishing a high-yield, low-maintenance garden, it will enhance the school environment and promote biodiversity. Student-led initiatives will encourage long-term behavioural change among families and the community, fostering environmental awareness and stewardship. The garden will enhance air quality through green planting and educate students on sustainable practices like composting, water conservation, and renewable energy. It will provide accessible green spaces supporting diverse wildlife, creating a hands-on learning environment for lifelong environmental literacy. Empowering students as tour guides and hosts will deepen their connection to the garden and boost their confidence. This initiative aims to leave a lasting positive impact on the local environment and community, inspiring future generations to cherish, protect, and sustain their surroundings.
Steps to get it done:
Our project 'Growing our Forest Garden at Mosspits integrates educational workshops on composting and sustainable agriculture, utilising mini compost units and wormeries to engage students actively. The garden design ensures year-round usability with shelters and strategic planting to enhance accessibility and biodiversity. We prioritise community engagement through student-led sessions and initiatives in home-based environmental projects, fostering lasting behavioural change. Our commitment to enhancing green spaces and promoting environmental awareness across the Liverpool City Region is underscored by our collaborative efforts and sustainable practices.
