Clippy's Apples is a proud sponsor of the new Cheshire Wildlife Trust orchard. Mugshots of the planting session, including a Gormanator grimace can be seen below.

Historic maps reveal that an orchard has existed at Cheshire Wildlife Trust’s headquarters at Bickley Hall Farm since the 1300s, so it is sad to see that today all that is left is a lonesome Bramley tree and a small row of plum trees. With this in mind, the Trust is creating an orchard that will feature ancient local varieties and provide sanctuary to rescued varieties. It is hoped that by situating the orchard on a site with community ownership and public access that it will become an important part of local heritage and education.

Apple varieties planted include Wareham Russet, Gooseberry Pippin, Bee Bench, Lemon apple, Rakemaker and Milicent Barnes.
