At a site meeting in December it was agreed that the south-east quadrant of the site (bordering Kersh Avenue, Marley Lane and Broom Lane) would now the most suitable for the proposed orchard, given difficulties with the Crayfield Road site previously identified. We have provisionally booked the Sale and Altrincham Conservation Volunteers to help us and local residents with clearing the site and planting, respectively on Sundays 19th February and 18th March. At our members’ meeting on 16th January we will decide a more detailed timetable for work to be undertaken.
