A public meeting is being held to discuss plans to transform Hill Top common land in Armley into a community orchard.
The meeting is a chance to meet the trustees of Armley Common Right Trust, which maintains a number of green spaces in Armley, discuss the plans for Hill Top or anything else the trust do.
The meeting will be held at the Travellers Rest pub on Tuesday, 24 September at 7pm.
A second event – Armley Apple Day – on Sunday 6 October will be held at Hill Top to launch the consultation for the orchard and provide an opportunity to try some new varieties of apple and make your own juice. It runs from 11am-1pm.
An Armley Common Right Trust spokesperson said: “You may have noticed that there’s been a flurry of activity on Hill Top Moor this month. That’s because we’re getting ready for planting a community orchard! This is all being done by volunteers and if you’d like to get involved, please contact us.
“We’ll be having a public meeting at the Travellers Rest on September 24 at 7pm and an Armley Apple Day on Hill Top on October 6 where you can find out more and get involved. Everyone is welcome.”
There are six pieces of land protected by the Trust. There are at Hill Top, Charlie Cake Park, Moor Top (at the junction of Town St and Wortley Road), Armley Moor, Far Fold (over Theaker Lane from the Moor) and Ley Lane (beyond Mistress Lane).
