Landulph Orchard Green Volunteers

The whole idea of Landulph Orchard Green (LOG) is that it will be developed by the community for the community.  A Working Group of Landulph Parish Council looks after the day to day development of LOG, reporting to the Parish Council. The LOG Working Group consists of:  Martin Worth (chair), Rebecca Best, Andrew and Jo Butcher, Gill Mannings Cox, Phillida Jermain, Paul and Gwen Morris, Steve Pearson, Clare Tagg, Jenny Turnage.

There is a group of volunteers who are helping with the development of LOG; this means doing everything from planting trees to making tea.  Phillida Jermain keeps a list of the volunteers and will email when there are jobs that need doing.

How to volunteer

If you are interested in giving a helping hand, no matter how infrequently then all you need to do is agree to the following points:

• You have read and understood the Parish Council's safeguarding policy
  
• You work as a LOG volunteer at your own risk
• You have read and agree to the Volunteer Health and Safety Practices
• You will make sure there is a first aid kit (normally kept in the shed by Duke Orchard) and mobile phone when working on site (if necessary borrow a first aid kit from the porch of Tamarisk ( ///inform.pinks.bother) - opposite the now closed pub at the bottom of Fore Street) 
• Please use your own tools
• Please check what is needed to be done at the time (and what is not) with one of the members of the Working Group listed above
  
• You agree to your details being stored on a list of LOG Volunteers which may be shared with other members of the LOG Working Group
• You agree that any photos of you that are taken in either orchard can be used on our website or other publications about the orchard.

Please email your acceptance of the above seven points to Phillidajermain@hotmail.com

Next volunteer day

The next two volunteer days are:

• Tuesday 16 July from 17:30
• Sunday 4 August from 14:30

We are also working on the construction of the Composting Toilet from Wed 10 July - please contact Clare Tagg or Andrew Butcher if you'd like to help with this.

In the meantime, if you want to do some work in Duke Orchard there are two jobs that need doing:

• cutting off docks as close to the ground as possible and throw the leaves into the hedge
• spreading wood chip around each tree (about 1 metre) to deter weeds; wood chip is available next to the shed up the farm track and there is a wheelbarrow in the shed.
