The October workday took place in the Hall o'the Heath Farm orchard. Tools provided via Alistair of the Cheshire East Ranger Service. The plan was to cut back the hedges and overgrown grass and brambles to reduce competition for the fruit trees. The crop of apples appears to have been quite good this year.
