607 new fruit trees have been planted, 14 orchards have benefitted from
management plans, 207 individuals have been trained in orchard
management skills such as pruning and grafting and one community
orchard has been reinstated at Kirkfieldbank.
Local schools have also been supported in planting and maintaining their
own mini orchards through a project with Central Scotland Green
Network Trust.
Once in decline, its great to see the Clyde Valley orchards taking root
once again! Find out more at Fruit Day (see left), where you will be able
to sample fresh Clyde Valley Orchards juice.
Creepy crawly
goings on in Carluke
Bugs, butterflies and beasties
are the topic of The Young
Gallery Citizen Science
exhibition at the Cadzow
Gallery, Chatelherault Country
Park, from 15 21 August.
270 Carluke based primary
pupils took to local parks and
woodlands to investigate
wildlife with South Lanarkshire
Council Ranger Service, before
creating larger than life
sculptures inspired by their
findings with Impact Arts.
The free sessions are open to local communities and take place on sites
owned or managed by CAVLP partners so its a great way to get out and
about. Sites include Scottish Wildlife Trust Falls of Clyde, New Lanark,
South Lanarkshire Council, North Lanarkshire Council, RSPB Barons
Haugh and Scottish Natural Heritage Clyde Valley Woodlands National
Nature Reserve.
Were thrilled to announce another round of environmental and
conservation volunteering projects, especially following the success of
last years evaluation, says Kirsten Robb, CAVLP Development Officer.
The sessions will give individuals the skills and confidence in
contributing to future community projects.
A selection of opportunities are highlighted on the back of this
newsletter. For full listings, visit www.clydeandavonvalleys.org/events
