The Arboretum is now a densely populated inner city area of Worcester which was once a real arboretum. The canal which runs through it is a wildlife corridor. A crowdfunder appeal is hoping to plant fruit trees in this area.
See www.spacehive.com/create-an-arboretum-in-worcester to find out more and lend your support.
The intention is to create a wildlife corridor from the River Severn at Diglis to the countryside from Six Ways. Wildlife Corridors are now recognised as vital in allowing wildlife to live and to migrate. The Arboretum is a necessary link in that corridor which at present does not support the variety or quantity of habitats which it could do.
20 fruit trees are planned to be planted.
