Malvern Community Forest has a busy weekend coming up, with fruit picking on Saturday and a woodland working party on Sunday. Abundance Malvern (part of Malvern Community Forest) picks and distributes fruit that would otherwise go to waste. If you like picking fruit, please join us on Saturday 15 October from 10-12. Meet at 47 Lydes Road, Malvern. For more information, please call Linda on 01684 892906. On Sunday 16 October, volunteers will be working at Prospect Community Woodland between Prospect View Medical Centre and Bradfords on Pickersleigh Road. We meet at 10am, and finish at 12, with a tea break towards the end of the morning. We’re working to improve access to the site so that it becomes a wonderful community resource. Everyone is free to join us – please wear weatherproof clothing and sturdy footwear, and if you’re under 18 please bring an adult with you. For more information, please call Craig on 01684 579115.
