The idea
We need your help to raise funds to plant a C shape in semi dwarf apple trees, made of one row planted at the distance of fifteen feet apart the row being fifty meters long, with two extra trees to fill in at each end.
What we'll deliver
- Semi Dwarf fruit trees
- Tree stakes and ties
- Supply compost
Why it's a great idea
The benefits to the community.
To come together with a common purpose, to feel pride in the creative atmosphere.
To realise and discuss the potential of the theatre and exchange ideas.
To bring an opportunity to the young people in the community to realise the potential and the importance of a platform to express their concerns about the future and to promote awareness of what needs to be addressed and achieved.
Positive action like plays / singing/ dance can help alleviate anxiety about the environment.
The apple trees will benefit bees and other insects, they will be pleasant to look at, and will produce fruit.
The area around can be utilised for the encouragement of biodiversity and thereby making a suitable educational environment.
The area can be used for an outside classroom suitable to seat thirty students at social distancing.
The area can be used for classes like yoga/ singing/ art etc.
It could be used as a social hub for talking about local issues.
Steps to get it done
- Once the funds are secure the trees/compost/ guards/posts will be purchased.
- The secondary/ primary school students will be approached to help with the planting.
- The students will be encouraged to work on plays .
- Advice on expansion of the area to encourage more environmental awareness, biodiversity etc
- To promote the area as a possible hub for the community to integrate
- This is the first apple tree theatre, the school woodland theatre project’s aim is to promote the idea far and wide.
- Connecting neighbouring villages/ towns communities through art and drama
The chosen area at station road gardens is a disused section which lends itself to the creative aspirations of the students to use the area to promote their concerns about the climate and other issues.
