KiNG’S eLy SUPPortS BSA ‘BoArdiNG orChArd’ iNitiAtiVe

We are proud to be supporting the Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA) 2022 ‘Boarding orchard’ initiative.

Our first new fruit tree – an Opal Plum – has been planted in the rewilding area that we have created near to the assault course.

Aileen Kane, Deputy CEO and COO, visited us to plant the Opal Plum with Principal of King’s Ely, John Attwater, and our Grounds and Gardens Manager, Will Temple.

King’s Ely supports BSA ‘Boarding Orchard’ initiative We think trees are fantastic.They provide a major solution to the climate crisis by capturing and storing carbon, whilst also mitigating and maybe preventing flooding, soil erosion and providing habitats for plants and animals. By planting fruit trees, we are providing a food source that pupils can easily recognise. “ “
