Lammas Orchard: mulching trees 🌳

In February 2011, local children planted 21 fruit trees to form a Community Orchard in the overgrown tennis courts in the Lammas Enclosure, between Lammas and Walpole Parks. Volunteers from Ealing Transition have taken on the management of the area and preservation of natural habitats.

Recently, the rangers oversaw planting new tree whips at the back of the orchard, which now need mulching. Our job will be to cover the area with woodchip so that brambles and other weeds don't overtake the space until the trees grow stronger 💪

❓ What are we doing?

We'll be woodchipping the area where the new trees are planted.
