Community Orchard

Improving our biodiversity and our connection to nature...

This is a collaborative project between Swinton Estate and Masham Community Office. Swinton Estate is providing the site for a Community Orchard for the benefit of local residents. Using the proceeds from hotel guest donations, trees and edible hedging will be in the ground by the end of 2024 and a wild flower meadow will be sown. The Orchard will then be handed on for use and management by the local community, to be used for educational purposes and cultivate primary produce, enriching both the community and the land.
