When one passionate post meets a village full of people who care, magic happens. In our very first Rainford’s Rewilders event, 18 volunteers rallied together to tackle litter at Ormskirk Road Play Area—clearing bags of rubbish, finding abandoned pram parts, and proving just how powerful one hour of community action can be. This isn’t just about tidying up; it’s about building a cleaner, greener, more connected Rainford.

Rotting logs, crumbling branches, and mossy stumps might not win any garden beauty contests—but they’re absolute goldmines for wildlife. In this blog, we dive into the weird and wonderful world of deadwood, explore why letting things rot is one of the best things you can do for biodiversity, and share a story involving woodlice, childhood sword fights, and a surprisingly squishy stick. Embrace the mess, because dead wood is very much alive.
