All very welcome. Refreshments available.

The mission…

The aim of the project is to establish a Community Orchard on Woodfield, planting approximately 30 fruit trees across the winters of 2024/5 and 2025/6 at the south-western end of Woodfield (the end that borders Streatham and Clapham High School). The Orchard will occupy less than one third of the field in total. The trees will be generously spaced and the Orchard itself sited in an area that will maintain wide avenues at both back and sides of the field.

A Community Orchard is a series of fruit trees planted in a specific area within a local community. It’s by and for everyone within that community. The active engagement and involvement in all aspects of the orchard is vital, and everyone and anyone is encouraged to join in. The more people involved, the more fun, knowledge and fruit is shared amongst our community.

Many volunteers have already spent time in gaining permissions, organising the layout, researching the most suitable trees, and raising the funds to start the WCOP.
