As many of you will know Birchfields Forest Garden is in the public park and has been supported by
Manchester Council's Leisure and operational services departments including 'Wildabout' funding. We also had Red Rose Forest support (RRF covers Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Salford, Trafford and Wigan). We are completing a series of permaculture and community events so we are interested in this theme, a/reforestation, guilds of plants to put around orchard trees and development of wildlife and foraging routes for us too from parks, community orchards, track/kerbsides etc
Sorry no more time tonight, MPN could explore such issues at a session...
have a good meeting today!

Dear Adele,
Finally, I have reason to talk...I have had my eyes over the permaculture network's e-mail for a few months now and have a few questions to ask.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with Sasha Essuah-Mensah, of Old trafford coumcil.
I have a background in applied social research and archaeology. My specialisation is education in cultural formation and for months I have been dwelling on the use of parks and communities. I would really like to share my ideas/plans with you. If I get a green light from the council on the park project, then I believe the network should be involved if only on a advisory basis if it doesn't have the time or resources to participate.
Kind Regards
Zoë

Hi jane thanks for you email, the roberto perez talk
went really well and he had a great day in manchester
the 27th sounds great and yes the Milk room is
available to meet. It would be great to great a solid
six month plan in place at the meeting that we can
move on but also discuss the network group and
operational aspects too, like communications and the
website as well
