Autumn

Leap Valley has been pretty flooded recently with all the rain. Many thanks go to Pete, Denis and Mike who do sterling work out there on Monday’s and have dug out some of the water channels so that the water would flow as it was up over the stone bridge.They have also been tidying along the stream, clearing rubbish, cutting down some unsafe branches on dead trees and lots of other jobs. Thank you so much Boys!

Community Orchard Planting Plan

Angie has been working on a new map of the orchard. There are still 3 cider apple trees that we don’t know the names of but hope that the Bromley Heath Cider Collective might be able to help. All the trees have been relabelled as the copper labels were not successful. 

July News

Well hasn’t our Wild Flower Meadow done well. A joy to sit and look not only at the flowers  but also the insects and butterflies it has brought in. Below are some wonderful shots taken last week by our Treasurer Andrew.

Hopefully we will get some more sun to ripen all the seeds before the annual mow in early Sept. Next year the perennial plants will show and not the annual ones of this year so more to look forward to. 

Our great guys continue to go out on a Monday morning and do so much work in the valley and orchard to maintain it in best possible condition. We are all so very grateful to them. Come rain or shine they are there.  

Our AGM will be held on Monday Sept 9th. I will put the venue on the Upcoming Events Page when it has been decided where it will be held. Anyone interested in our beautiful valley is welcome.
