A new site is being set up for the Lion Salt Works Trust also. The Trust has now handed back its lease on the site to the Council.
Because the Trustees failed to renew their domain name the original web site is no longer controlled by the Lion Salt Works Trust. Link to the old Lion Salt Works Trust web site

Winter Snow Jan 2010

Hedging and Trees in the Butterfly Garden

The first trees and hedging are being planted in the Butterfly Garden.

This project is funded by INEOS Enterprises through the UK Government's Landfill Communities Fund (previously known as the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme). The grant is administered by The Mersey Forest.

40 hedging plants have been provide through The Mersey Forest from FOUNDATION a climate fund for the Northwest.

The main buddlea plants will be planted in the spring with the ground cover plants also favourites with butterflies and moths.

These shubs and taller trees will provide the architecture and colour in the winter.
