Volunteer With The Friends Of Lordship Rec Orchard Group

Come and volunteer in our magical orchard - learn new skills, meet new friends, get fit and immerse yourself in nature.

The Orchard contains fruit and nut trees, soft fruit bushes, hedgerows, wildflowers and grasses. It's managed for education and biodiversity. There is a section of hazels that are regularly coppiced, and wildlife habitats including dead hedges and wood piles.

We hold regular events and workshops. Under 18s welcome if accompanied by an adult.

Unfortunately the Orchard is not wheelchair accessible (yet!).

Meeting time: 10am. End 1pm.

Meeting Location: Lordship Recreation Ground Hub - outside on the pond side

Break/Snack time: 11.30am Please bring or can be ordered from the Hub cafe.

Please bring: Suitable outdoor clothes and sturdy waterproof footwear (the activities will be outdoors in cold and possibly windy conditions and the area may be boggy) Your gardening gloves if you have them. Tools will be provided (we have spare gloves too)

Activities may include: Mulching, weeding around young trees, bramble cutting, wattle fence making and coppice crafts, scything, pruning (in season), tree planting and watering.
