What we are about

There are lots of un-used or under-used bits of land  in and around Headingley that could be planted with fruit trees and bushes. Each plot will

  • improve the environment
  • protect green spaces
  • help biodiversity
  • involve local people
  • provide opportunities for learning new skills, and eventually.......
  • provide delicious, healthy, locally grown fruit to local people

We have already developed three areas: at the back of the Natural Food Store, in Shire Oak Primary School and on open ground near St Chad's in Far Headingley. We are just starting to create a Remembrance Orchard around the war memorial nearby. See How we do it for pictures/details.
