That sounds like a lot of organising, congratulations. I hope you are ready
to hose down 150+ muddy children!
Am I right in thinking the fruit trees flower in spring, and the sweet
chestnut and lime in June, thus bridging the June Forage Gap? I don't know
when walnut flowers.

Hi all,
just to let you know, I have been super busy last few months with planning
"planting trees for bees, at the back of my mind, as well as for us -
humans".
News so far:
12 groups (about 150+ kids with teachers/leaders) will be planting 24
trees (sweet chestnuts, lime, walnut, apple, pear, plum, cherry) this
November (see picture).
Blenheim donated 10 sweet chestnuts and 2 walnuts. Nicholsons gave us 40%
discount.
We are fundraising this Saturday (

Freeland) during Microbrewery Open Day (Mark made fantastic beer & will be
cooking goulash), so do share this news and come along if you can.
Project can be followed on facebook:

Watch the space .. I think the next project should be "Log Hives Up The
Trees" :)
Good night
