A-Mazing Orchard
Moving an orchard!
Fenland District Council have given the go ahead for the transplanting of the A-Maze orchard in the Wisbech Town park to the Fenland Orchards Project site. We intend to plant the trees in the same layout as it is in the park.
Pruning
Bob Lever came along to give advice and guidence on pruning the trees ready for the move. The trees have not been pruned for a couple of years so the volunteers were extremely grateful to have such and experienced mentor on hand. Great first session.
Moving forward
The volunteers are making great progress with the pruning, about 2/3 of the trees have been done. Marking out etc is next at the Fenland Orchards Project site.

Sad end to the year
As you may have seen, sadly our tool store was broken into and a lot of our equipment was stolen. We are not going to let this spoil our year and are extremely grateful to those that have already donated replacement equipment.
On wards and up wards.
