Community Orchard Works
The wet weather has delayed much of the activity we had planned to do by now. The Community Orchard is waterlogged, and the annual cut of the Upper Orchid Field has been delayed by the muddy conditions.
Despite this, the Welsh, Goldsland and Elizabethan Orchards have been strimmed and much of the Bee Loud Glade has been cleared. Mike Tucker has also ‘hedgelaid’ the new 
hedge we planted in the Glade around 6 years ago. We have also cleared around the Holland Pond which few will be aware of, but which harbours a wide range of wildlife especially newts and dragonflies.
The Upper Orchid Field working party continue to meet there every month and they are clearing around trees, applying preservative to benches and keeping paths clear and tidy. If you fancy joining them the date is published in What’s On and there is a WhatsApp group so that members can keep in touch with each other.
