The Noticeboard and Bee Hotel has been re-erected<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Visitors to the Community Orchard on the Playing Fields will have been delighted to see that the Noticeboard and Bee Hotel has been re-erected after it collapsed some weeks ago as the main posts had rotted. Our thanks to Mike Tucker for managing this – we had assumed a small army would have been needed to get it upright. Mike used branches from the nearby oak which has also come down to provide additional support. Our other noticeboards are being stripped of their notices in preparation for treating the timbers with preservative and the Welsh Orchard structure is already a subtle shade of sable. Many group members have been taking the opportunity when on their once a day exercise excursion to spend a few minutes carrying out maintenance work on our nature reserves. Fruit tree supports are being removed where they are no longer needed, beds weeded, willow screens and tunnels trimmed, and trees mulched.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A combination of good weather and the lock-down has encouraged many more people to get out and about in our local countryside and to enjoy visiting our orchards and nature reserves. Unfortunately a small minority of landowners have taken the opportunity to try to keep out members of the public who are using legitimate rights of way. Notices have been put up on our noticeboard in the Upper Orchid Field asking people not to use stiles or gates to protect farm workers. We stress that these notices were not put up by the Wildlife Group and we can see no reason why people should not continue to exercise themselves and their dogs whilst observing social distancing and sensible hygiene precautions. Dogs, of course, should always be kept under control particularly when near fields with sheep and lambs.<\/p>\n
