Coronation Community Orchards

Rachel Crookes•3 years ago West Oxfordshire District Council will be distributing £50,000 of funding to support community orchard projects across the district, to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, after a successful Coronation Living Heritage Fund application. The aim of the funding is to enable more trees to be planted in non-woodland locations and close to where people live, providing a visible and lasting tribute to the coronation within local communities.There will be two planting seasons during which groups can submit applications – this year, applications are open until 19th January 2024, and planting must be completed in February and/or March 2024. The trees must be on publicly accessible land, or accessible to a significant number of people eg for a school. Any types of fruit tree that will thrive in the UK can be planted, with a minimum of 5 trees making up an orchard.More information can be found on the WODC website -https://www.westoxon.gov.uk/environment/climate-action/coronation-community-orchard-scheme
