Task Reports

We will be cutting back path edges to improve access throughout the site, litter picking and weeding non-native woodland plants and pond dipping to check out how the wildlife is getting on.

We will be harvesting fruit, path clearing, tree care-weeding around trees to make harvesting and collecting windfalls easier, hedge cutting and starting to cut the wildflower meadow using traditional tools, such as sickles and general orchard management.

We will be continuing to raise the tree canopy in the woodland and removing brambles, so the pupils can enjoy using the area. Also, completion of steps.

We will be preparing for Apple Day, tasks will include hedge cutting and varnishing the shelter Belvedere

This will be the second of our annual visits to the moor to control areas of bracken. This will help a range of moorland plants to thrive. Please wear long trousers, as there may be ticks.

We will be fruit picking, weeding around trees, path cutting and carrying out general orchard maintenance

Sorry for the short notice, but we have a change of plan. We had planned to go to Baildon Moor, but our minibus is being temperamental and the orchard seems a better option as it is closer. Amongst other jobs, the Belvedere structure needs sanding and painting. 

We will be raising the tree canopy in their woodland and clearing brambles and possibly creating steps.
