Fruitful News for Alnwick 19 March 2011
Alnwick Friends of the Earth have been working with their council to secure a lease for their community orchard for over 2 years.
They've worked together to develop plans for the site, apply for funding and publicising the idea to the community.
Earlier this week they heard that their hard work had paid off - when they received a 99 year lease for the Bullfield site.
The group hopes to involve many people from across the community in the project and provide a sustainable source of fruit and nuts for the people of Alnwick.
To find out more about Friends of the Earth work on local food, why not attend the food training day in Birmingham on 9 April 2011. Contact Ollie Hayes for more details.
