[from Louise Ramsay, Community Woodland Coordinator]
Our new Community Orchard sign is now up in Hazelbank Wood, sharing information about the planting of heritage apple trees with the local school children and volunteers as part of our Food from the Wood theme. The sign also celebrates the beautiful artwork created by the children, alongside the names and information about the heritage apple varieties planted in the orchard.
The project was funded by the Highland Council NRF grant and is based on the idea that food can bring people together. We hope these trees will provide apples for future community days, with activities ranging from juicing to chutney-making and plenty of opportunities for the whole community to get involved.
