Help from 1st Flodden Cubs

It was a cold, icy day on the 2nd of February when 1st Flodden Cubs joined us in the orchard to work on their Conservation Badge. The Cubs enthusiastically entered into a discussion about the fruit in the orchard, and looked at how we were preserving old heritage varieties. Next, the Cubs played a game to help them learn some of the interesting histories of our trees - and a lot of running around warmed us all up. Well done to the Cherries team who were first with their answers!

The Cubs donned gloves and, armed with plastic bags, they carried out a litter pick in the orchard. They were a great help collecting the rubbish that blows under the roadside hedge. Where does it all come from?!

Thank you for your visit, 1st Flodden - you are a fantastic team! Good luck with the rest of the badge!
