The Mersey Forest is a network of woodlands and green spaces being created across Merseyside and North Cheshire by a wide-ranging partnership of different organisations including local authorities, community groups and businesses. The Mersey Forest is the biggest of twelve community forests covering 420 square miles (1,100 km2) and accessible to a local population of 1.6 million people. It stretches from Sefton to the north of Liverpool and south to Northwich in Cheshire. Delamere Forest in the south of the area being the largest area of established woodland. The forest is seen as having a major role in attracting new business and tourism to the area.In common with the other community forests, it is not a contiguous area of forest, but rather an initiative to increase forestry coverage in an area close to urban communities. An example of this at work is Griffin Wood, clearly visible from the M62 just to the south of St. Helens. This woodland was established in 2007, including Scott's Copse, planted in recognition of the work done by David Scott. It is one of the areas where trees where planted by Team Trees. The forest falls within the area of the proposed Northern Forest.

Ditton Mill railway station was on the western edge of Widnes, England, that operated from 1851–1871. It was located east of Ditton Brook on the border between Ditton and Halebank. The station opened in 1851 on the Garston extension of the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway which was being built westwards towards Garston. Through traffic to and from Garston commenced on 1 July 1852. The line was taken over by the LNWR in 1864. In the 1860s the LNWR built a line from a short distance west of Ditton Mill south east to Weaver Junction and Euston, building and crossing the Mersey by the Runcorn Railway Bridge. This was and remains a hugely greater enterprise than the Widnes to Garston line. Ditton Mill was stranded on the "wrong side of the tracks", being a short distance east of the junction therefore useless for accessing the London to Liverpool main line. The LNWR were aware of this and built Ditton Junction west of both Ditton Mill and the junction. The new station opened and Ditton Mill closed on 1 May 1871. Ditton Mill station was demolished and no trace remains.
