Fruit for all

Hundreds of fruit trees are being planted to help tackle climate change, say BBC News.

Gloucestershire Orchard Trust has given away 450 trees to individuals and community orchards, free of charge, to replace ones that have been lost to ash dieback disease in recent years. The trust says that, even though the project is in its first year, it is already fully-subscribed. The scheme is part of a Woodland Trust rewilding project to encourage wildlife and give people access to fruit. Martin Hayes, from Gloucestershire Orchard Trust, said the minimum number of trees people could apply for was five, but some had asked for 50!
