The distribution of UK Malus network member

Orchard Mapping is fast becoming a source for expressing
community heritage. It places that community at the centre of the
heritage map. Many groups throughout the country are taking this up to
analyse the placement of collections and orchards throughout their
region. We have Mr Trevor Rogers from the Northern Fruit Group mapping
orchards for the North, Mr Keith Goverd from the West Country where
there is an abundance of cider apples as well and the Hertfordshire
Orchards Initiative are in the process of locating orchards within their
county. This is a very time consuming project but provides extremely
valuable information May I congratulate these dedicated people for
taking on such a task, I hope it may inspire people in other areas to
amalgamate their knowledge and add to these projects. Please keep in
contact with the UK Network for Malus and we can add all the
varieties found on these maps to our database. In return we can assist
in identifying varieties unique to your area. All details added to our
database will be given full confidentiality. Do not hesitate to contact
us on the numbers above. |
