Lepton Community Orchard

To create a community orchard by planting fruit trees on an area of land on Lepton recreation ground and along the footpaths, and plant fruit trees in other areas across the Ward, with a view to improving the area further. Creating an orchard will improve the local ecological value of the recreation ground and surrounding area and enhance it by creating a habitat for bees and pollinators; it will work towards improving air quality in our area, be a local food source, provide opportunities for outdoor activity working in the natural environment which is known to benefit well-being and mental health as well as provide relaxing areas for just enjoying the natural environment.
