Mill Brow Local Nature Reserve, Eccleston
Mill Wood is one of the few wet broadleaf woodland sites in St Helens. Drainage ditches were dug to enable woodland planting to take place possibly in the early 20th century and in recent years, local residents and volunteers led by Lancashire Wildlife Trust carried out work Mill Wood and Mill Brow to upgrade footpaths and boardwalks, and to improve tree management and rhododendron control working in partnership with St Helens Council and Eccleston Parish Council (https://bit.ly/2WMBhkw ). The area was declared local nature reserve in 2016 (https://bit.ly/2G4hCXV St Helens Council). The improved Mill Brow also provides an outdoor classroom facility for the neighbouring De La Salle School.
