Councillor Jenny Boak visited us in September to take a look at the community orchard at the Parish Hall, and to help mount one of the tree variety name signs that have been made from recycled wood. 

A representative from Westmorland & Furness council took photos of the orchard and signage so that they can talk about community orchards that have been planted locally. We chatted about the process of planting the trees, building protective cages, and beating back invasive species such as Bracken, Holly and Himalayan Balsam, plus new opportunities to obtain native trees and hedging plants in the future.
