Clanfield Community Orchard is delighted to have been awarded a grant from the Trust for Oxfordshire's Environment (TOE) with funding from Grundon Waste Management Ltd through the Landfill Communities Fund.
This will enable us to start the preparation of the Orchard site by installing a wooden footbridge for accessing the site, constructing perimeter fencing and installing rainwater harvesting equipment.
Ben Heaven Taylor, TOE’s CEO, said "Everyone at TOE is delighted to have awarded the Clanfield Community Orchard a grant to create this new community orchard. Spending time outside brings health and well-being benefits to us all and this project, which benefits both people and wildlife, is the type of initiative we love to support. We know grants from TOE make all the difference to grass-roots projects which might not otherwise happen and we’re proud to be part of this.” We are immensely grateful for the generous funding to enable us to press ahead with the project.
All that is needed now are the trees and lots of enthusiasm! If you would like to sponsor a tree please e-mail hello@clanfieldcommunityorchard.org
