Masters student Rosa Smith from the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester is undertaking a study called
Assessing the environmental and social impacts of restoring traditional orchards in Gloucestershire.
The purpose is to gain a better understanding of the social impacts of orchard restoration throughout the county.
It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Participation in this study is entirely voluntary and you can withdraw at any time. You are free to omit any question.
The survey is at https://rau.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/community-orchards-survey
Do pass on to anyone else who may be interested.
Also, if anyone would be able to do a short Zoom interview with Rosa, let us know as that would also be much appreciated.
As we know, community orchards are a huge benefit culturally, socially, historically and for wildlife as well as reducing food miles!
