We’d like to thank everyone that came out and helped us celebrate Apple Day in the Balfron Community Orchard yesterday! It was a lovely day and everyone got stuck in as the juice flowed from tree to cup with apples and pears from the orchard and beyond. We also had fun with the raffle, baking contest, crafts, and visiting with the trees and one another. There are still plenty of apples, plums and pears on the trees so help yourself. Also, look for them in the phone box.

We look forward to seeing you again next year, and in the meantime, if you’d like to hear about volunteer and learning opportunities, just message us here on Messenger and we’ll let you know.

Are you ready for Balfron Apple Day??
There will be prises for the Baking Contest - and a popular vote - so come along and bring your favourite orchard flavoured bake!
There are tons of prizes to be won in the Raffle as well so bring some cash - although, we will have a card machine if you don't have cash.
We also have a children's orchard craft and of course there will be lots of fun pressing apples! From picking to drinking, learn how fun it is to make fresh, lovely apple juice! Bring your bottles to take some home!

SWSCAN warmly invites you to this first gathering of your local climate action network! This is an exciting opportunity to:
• meet like-minded folk from other communities
• share local actions, learning, ideas and plans
• start working together to make a positive difference in SW Stirling.

By collaborating and networking across our communities, we can increase our combined impact on climate change and sustainability.

The event will include:
• The AGM, to hear a brief update on last year’s activities and consider next steps for the network.
• Action-focused discussions, facilitated by local experts: on Energy, Biodiversity, Resource and Engagement.
• A splendid brunch!

Everyone passionate about the environment is welcome. Don’t miss out on this friendly gathering to build local climate action.

Unfortunately we're going to cancel this workshop today due to the weather. We'll be organising small groups to do winter pruning when we can see that it will be dry for a few days. Please get in touch if you'd like to be included. Otherwise, we're going to have a Summer Pruning workshop where we look at how to encourage more fruit growth on Apple and Pear trees and how to prune Plum and Cherry trees!

Reminder that these meetings are upcoming! Find out about what the plans are and for how long the tip will be closed.
