About 91,000 new trees will be planted in new woodland areas after a council agreed to sell land to the National Trust.

Sefton Council said about 193 acres (78 hectares) of disused farmland around Lunt Village, near Maghull, could now be used to create "more diverse, nature rich" habitats.

The project, partly funded by The Mersey Forest’s Trees for Climate programme, is also intended to increase flood defences and could even provide a home for red squirrels.

Trees will be planted between January and March, the council said.

...

The council hopes the project will connect existing pockets of wetland and woodland and provide homes to a variety of wildlife.
