Great response from Orchard Inventory feature on BBC website

People have been contacting us from people across Scotland to the feature on the Beeb website

Some wanted to ensure their orchard has been included, and others to volunteer for survey work. A few have been seeking advice about varieties and planning new orchards. We’re working through those now so we get back to everyone.

Biodiversity is one of the factors assessed in the National Orchard Inventory for Scotland

We worked with a BBC journalist to develop the piece, and to try and include as much of interest as possible from what the Inventory found .  Of course the full story is contained in the Area Reports which are available to download.  However the piece gives a good overview and its gets to a very wide audience.  That has to be good for raising awareness about orchards in Scotland.
