As we attend our orchard today we remember the brave men who took part in Operation Chastise, the Dambusters Raid that took place 83 years ago tonight.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

The guys have been working hard for 5 days, WOW what a result. When the grass greens up it will be stunning. Short Heath Lest We Forget would like to express our thanks to Adam Hicken for battling away for us for years, to Andy Stokes, Jay and the team. I am sure you will all agree it looks fantastic.
Tomorrow we will be there, please pop along. The hard work has been done we can edge some trees, if you have some compost the trees will be grateful. We will be there from 09.00 hope to see you there.

Many thanks to Adam Hicken for all his work to help us get the orchard going in the first place and then for taking our point higher and getting the grass cut and added to the schedule.
The Queens tree now has a flower bed and the orchard looks great. Huge thanks to Andy, Jay and the team from Walsall Council.
We are still planning on attending Saturday from 9 til 2, it would be great if anyone wants to join us to trim more at tree bases, if you want to bring a little compost for your tree that would be great and even some water for your tree.
We have the count of the number that need replacing and plans are made for this.
