Buy Shares in Your Local Common

There’s still time to buy shares in a exciting new local woodland project: but only if you’re quick. Whistlewood Common, situated between Melbourne and Ticknall in Derbyshire, will feature fruit and nut tree and berries, alongside lots of wildlife friendly projects.

Melbourne Area Transition, the community group behind the project, recently held its first event to celebrate purchasing the land. The event in involved a bring-and-share picnic, the unveiling of the Whistlewood Yurt and a ‘beating of the bounds’. Great fun was had by all. 

The share offer for the project closes on the 8th November 2013 so check out the website now if you want to be involved:www.whistlewoodcommon.org.
