The hard work at the @laudatosicentre memorial forest is paying off! The wildflower patches we have sown have really come to life this year with Yellow Rattle, Corn Cockle, Common Birds-foot-Trefoil and our first marsh orchid. We have cut pathways through the patches so visitors can explore and take a look at the site as it continues to develop. #communitymeadow #memorialforest #memorialtrees #lifeforalife #lifeforalifememorialforest #nature #wildflowers #wildflowersofinstagram #yellowrattle #catholicchurch #laudatosi
A few weeks ago, with the help of 1st Catforth, @prestonscouts we wrapped up this year’s tree planting at Starling Wood, Beacon Fell. The tree planting helped towards the scouts achieving their forestry badge. We still need your help to get the remaining trees planted and support 9 local Lancashire hospices and charities. To donate visit the link in our bio. We look forward to more planting this coming winter. The trees planted were funded by @tnlcommunityfund and other supporters. - - - #community #scouts #lancashire #volunteer #preston #trees #donate #plantatree #donation #environment

It is the last day of “No Mow May” and whilst some of the memorial forests might look a little wild we have seen a massive difference in the amount and variety of wildflowers popping up from Wood Anemone and Celandine covering the woodland floor at the Crook ‘o’ Lune to Wild Garlic at Torside and a Bee feeding on Bistort at Marklands. The bees and the team thank you for your patience and understanding whilst doing something different for the environment this May but the team will be getting the forests back into shape very soon. Don’t worry though we will still be leaving something for our pollinating friends here and there #wildflowers #nomowmay #bees #pollinators #meadows #memorialforests #memorialforest #environment #partnership #landmanagement #charity #memorialtrees
Fantastic effort today Himalayan Balsam bashing from the team and especially the Friends of Tandle Hill Country Park volunteers. Special thanks the Rachel from @oldhamcouncil who supplied the gloves and the knowledge to get the job done. Keep an eye out for other event run by the friends group in the park and if you can come and lend a hand. #community #nature #balsambashing #invasivespecies #caring #teamwork #environment #oldham #gettingthejobdone #volunteering #himalayanbalsam #tandlehill #friendsoftandlehill
If you are looking for reasons to reduce or change the way you manage grassland then look no further than our memorial forest in partnership with The Mersey Forest at Griffin Wood. Other than cutting a few pathways so visitors can explore the rest of the site is left alone and is covered in Orchids, Oxeye Daisies, Ragged Robin and much more. #nature #wildflowers #nomowmay #countrysidemanagement #wildflowermeadow #themerseyforest #merseyforest #memorialforest #memorialtrees #lifeforalifememorialforest #sthelens #orchids #orchidsofinstagram #raggedrobin
Earlier this month, we were joined by members of the Army’s Medical Operational Support Group (MOSG) and their families who planted 125 trees as part of the restoration project at Starling Wood, Beacon Fell.

The team removed over 200 redundant stakes and tree shelters, removing plastic from the woodlands. They also helped litter pick the site. #thankyou #volunteer #volunteering #litterpicking #keepbritaintidy #uniformservices #community #donttrasholdham #plasticwaste #oldham #community #oldhamcollege
Where we can, we will be taking part in @plantlife.loveplants #NoMowMay across our Memorial Forests. Each year it's wonderful to see the variety of #wildflowers being enjoyed by the bees, butterflys and other pollinating insects. #pollinators #ilovebees #bees #savethebees #honeybees #beesofinstagram #butterfly #nature #insects #pollination #wildlife
Everything is coming to life in and round the Wythenshawe Park memorial forest; from the blue bells and campion on the woodland floor to the flowering cherry trees we planted with @forestryengland and @cityoftreesmcr to the cute lambs in the @wythenshawecommunityfarm community farm who came over to say hello today. #woodlandflowers #wildflowers #forestry #wythenshawepark #memorialforest #memorialtrees #manchester #charity #wythenshawe #cherrytrees #blossomwatch #blossom #spring #springflowers

Look at these wildflowers popping up in and around the memorial forests at the @lancashirecc Crook ‘o’ Lune, @themerseyforests Griffin Wood and @st_josephs_hospice. They illustrate why our grassland management at charity does not start until the end of May, so that the bees and other pollinators can enjoy the cowslips, primroses, celendine, wood anemone and wild garlic. #memorialforests #memorialtree #memorialtrees #environment #wildflowers #nature #cowslip #woodanemone #bluebells #grasslandmanagment #caringfornature #charity
On Tuesday evening we popped along to catch up with @oldhammrt at one of their training evenings and presented them with a donation of £500. Donations like this help the team buy supplier and keep functioning, enabling them to respond to calls for help. This will be especially important around the Easter holiday at places like #dovestonereservoir #charity #mountainrescue #health #theoutdoors #donation #memorialforest #memorialtrees #sharingiscaring #community #communitysupport #helpingeachother #oldham #dovestones
Yesterday we laid 26 tons of crushed limestone to finish off the pathway restoration at Wythenshawe Park working with @manchestercitycouncil. These improvement works have been funded by the councils “Parks in Partnership Fund” and Life for a Life. #groundswork #restoration #pathways #wythenshawe #wythenshawepark #workingtogether #teamwork #memorialforest #memorialforests #charity #johndeere #johndeere2720 #harddayswork #accessimprovements

Yesterday we had the pleasure of being joined at staring wood by Billy, a volunteer from @walkingwiththewounded.

We would like to say a huge thank you to @oldhamcollegeups who volunteered to help clean up the Millennium Green, Sholver.

Today the team installed the signage at our Lowes Road Memorial Forest at @thebrickworks_bury in partnership with @chandoscivilengineering. A big thank you to @sign_uk who made the sign for us.
