Pruning workshops organised to help communities care for local orchards

The Council's Total Environment team have run pruning workshops this winter to support community groups looking after orchards across the borough.

The Council are supporting woodland creation across the borough, including community orchards, as part of their Land Action Plan.

To ensure trees remain healthy and provide lots of fruit a number of pruning workshops were organised, providing people with the skills to help look after these community assets. Watch the video below to find out more.

Funding is still available for landowners with land suitable for creating an orchard or woodland on their land. Get in touch now for support to help you get planting next winter. Contact: mail@merseyforest.org.uk
