Rudheath & Witton Together Conservation Group 

The Rudheath and Witton Together Conservation Group does some great work that has a direct benefit to Trust neighbourhoods, such as the clearing of rubbish from the ox-bow lake area of the Danefield estate. This area has now been opened up to the public and walkers. 

The Group's latest project is the creation of a community orchard at the Dane Valley fisheries, an area that can easily be accessed by the community of Rudheath. The orchard is open to all and the Conservation Group's intention is to be able to provide not only a community facility and somewhere that entertainment can be held, but a source of free fruit to local people in the Rudheath area. 

Volunteers from the Trust have helped the group to weave wicker fencing and create soil sculptures.  

If you want to get involved with the Rudheath and Witton Conservation Group contact us on 01606 813421 and we’ll put you in touch.
