Bodmin Town Council’s Parks Manager, Richard Davies, is organising a tree planting day in Priory Meadow on the morning of Wednesday, February 12.

The Council has been gifted over 60 Cornish fruit trees by the Environment Agency (who will be helping on the day) and would like to invite anyone interested in planting a new orchard to go along and give a hand. 

Richard said: ‘This is a small step we can take to help provide habitat and food for our pollinating insects and continue to combat climate change.’

The Town Council’s stock of tools is limited, so it would be really helpful if people could bring what they have – spades, trowels, gloves – all would be useful.

The site is fairly muddy at the moment so sturdy footwear is a must. If you would like to go along please contact Richard [email protected] or 01208 455740 so he can gauge numbers.
