The Symondsbury Apple Project: Information and contacts |
Membership
The time, skills and resources donated by members are essential to the success
of Apple Day, Pruning courses, Environmental play, Celebrations and Apple
pressing
The membership has been instrumental in the development and direction of the
Apple Project. Educational work, pruning courses and a fruit identification
service, have all grown out of needs expresses through the membership. So
too the Fruit Swap was designed to address the waste of apples from orchards
and gardens by finding ways to share and use them.
While an active membership to the project requires residency within the area
the project welcomes friends of SAP who will receive the quarterly newsletter
and information about the progress of the project. Friends are asked to donate
a minimum of is £5 per year. If you would like to join the project or
become a friend please contact us.
