Launch of the Burnley Fruit Squad

The Burnley Fruit Squad will be launched on 13th August along with a workshop on fruit trees and harvesting. The squad will be a group of volunteers who harvest excess fruit from households in Burnley and share with the community. The project is supported by the Richmond Community Learning Centre, Richmond Community Garden Group and the City of Yarra. Its aims are: to reduce food wastage in Burnley; to enable skill sharing between householders and volunteers; and to foster social connections in the community. Please rsvp by email.

In the meantime, if you have vines or fruit trees at your home that may need harvesting, or if you would like to learn new skills and help harvest excess fruit, please sign up.
