Behind the scenes of Edible Estates!

Urban Forestry Programme Challenge funding will bring more to this community garden through a Tree Equity project involving:
🌱Planting 1,742m² orchard

🌱Engaging locals in biodiversity action.

We can't wait to see the progress!

Our first-of-its-kind training programme kicked off last week!

The first CCF cohort got hands-on with continuous cover thinning - a technique for managing resilient, biodiverse woodlands.

This training helps close the CCF skills gap, the next course starts in the new year:https://ow.ly/zorS50XtZHm
