Cotteridge Community Orchard is go!Thanks to a very generous donation from the Midlands Co-operative Society and the hard work of local people Cotteridge Park now has the land to create its own community orchard. The aim of the project is to create a community orchard and tree nursery. The orchard project will be a focus for work with local people and local schools to look at growing,harvesting, cooking and eating good food. The tree nursery will provide a service to other local parks and open spaces by providing trees to replace natural wasteage across the District. Local people raised nearly £4,000 by donations, a sponsored walk, carol singing and selling home-made christmas cards. If you would like to make a donation or help with the project please get in touch with Emma Woolf on 451 2336 or email. |
