BAE Systems donate 30 step-over apple trees to Ford Park

In February half term we invited representatives of community-focused organisations and some of the young people who enjoy our playground, along to the park to help us plant 30 step-over-apple trees, kindly sponsored by BAE Systems in Barrow.

The trees will form a natural barrier around the playground, keeping children safe, while teaching them about varieties of apples and when to pick – and enjoy.

A huge thank you to BAE systems and to everyone who came along and planted a tree.
