Many thanks to all our willing volunteers who turned out on Saturday 12th February 2022 to help plant a new hedge in Donkey Lane Community Orchard along the perimeter of the lane. 370 plants of native species were planted including:
- Hazel
- Field Maple
- Cornelian Cherry
- Hawthorn
- wayfarers
- Cherry plum
- Spindle
- Kentish Cobb
- Buckthorn
- Holly
- Dog rose
To follow:
- Bledlow bullace
- Aylesbury prune
Why not join our volunteers?
Working parties are held twice a month: on the first Tuesday 10:00 am – 12:30 pm and the third Saturday 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm. Why not come along and learn new skills, meet new people, use the time as a green gym and enjoy the outdoors. Equipment supplied and we always stop for tea!
Or would you like to get involved in monitoring the wildlife, fauna and flora or help to find the old cottages? There are even some ‘back office’ jobs that always have to be done: help with media, plan events, talks, finance, education, website, grants, social history, making cakes, meeting people
We hold a variety of events throughout the year to showcase the Orchard and the work that we are doing.
If you would like to get involved in any of the aspects of the Orchard or just want to find out a little more about this project either speak to one of the volunteers at the working party or email greeningchinnor@gmail.com or call Linda on 01844 352753 or keep in touch with the orchard and other Greening Chinnor projects by signing up to our occasional newsletter.
