I spotted this sign recently on a fence-post near the West Kirby end of the Wirral Way and it describes a tree removal programme. It says:
Wirral Council is undertaking removal of mature trees along the Wirral Way. This is to open up the path that is shaded and to create a more open and welcoming aspect for our park users.
The old railway embankment either side of the path is unable to support these large trees and the roots break up the embankment causing erosion.
Some trees will be planted to replace those being felled. In other areas we hope that wildflowers will grow along the banksides bringing a bit of colour into this section of the park.
If you have any questions about this work or the other work at Wirral Country Park please contact the Thurstaston Visitor Centre on (0151) 648 4371
