Description
<p>In this final part, we dig further into the history of the Gorse Hall estate with Alan Pickles a volunteer who has been involved with the site for fifty years and set up the Friends of Gorse Hall. We then follow the route out of the estate and visit a community orchard planted in 2009 in a Cheetham Park and we discuss planting, establishing and maintaining an open access orchard with Rob Muir (Abundance Tameside) with some additional information about the location and planting of the orchard from Debs Kaufmann (Greenspace Team, Tameside Council) who manage the site.</p>
