The purpose of the Birmingham TreePeople Orchard Programme is to better understand the fruit tree resources already present within city orchards, bring under-managed fruit trees into management, and plant more fruit trees for communities to enjoy.

Using TreePlotter – our tree mapping software seen below – we are developing a map of the publicly accessible community orchards in Birmingham. In the near future, we will be running opportunities for volunteers to get involved with orchard surveying, to keep the maps updated with the correct data.

Frank P Matthews are our generous sponsors for the Orchard programme.
