Cannon Hill Common: come and join us!

What's happening on Cannon Hill Common?

You may have noticed that a lot of work has been done in the last few weeks in the Orchard area.    Over recent years this area has shrunk, as brambles have encroached on it.  The brambles are being cut back and some necessary tree work is being done.   This will allow a new FRUIT HEDGE to be planted, containing a variety of species, such as damson, plum, currants, medlar and hazel.  The fruit trees are a donation from the Tree Council and the work is being coordinated by Merton’s voluntary Tree Wardens, the council’s Tree Officers and the Friends of Cannon Hill Common. 

The planting is going to be done on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th November, from 10am to 1pm on both days – please come and help!
