ENVIRONMENTAL enthusiasts from Pembroke will be enjoying the fruits of their labour in years to come.

To mark the end of its climate week celebrations, Pembroke 21C’s environmental group, Pembroke Can Make a Difference (PCMAD), planted fruit trees in the town.

Volunteers planted Welsh heritage apples and damsons in the three bays that would have been the ends of the burgage plots by the Parade car park.

“The main aim is to provide extra trees to help pollinate those being planted at the community garden behind St Oswald’s House and other local gardens”, said PCMAD member Adam Freeman.

“It will be a few years before they grow and fruit but the other benefit is that the fruit will be there for the local community to pick and enjoy in the future.”

A further ten Welsh heritage fruit trees will be planted at the Community Garden at St Oswald’s this spring and Pembroke 21C CIC is planting a heritage orchard at Greenhill Farm on the Angle Peninsula.
