Harvest Llantwit

Vale Green Party members have been involved in Transition Llantwit, a group aiming to raise awareness in the local community about the twin threats of climate change and peak oil.

One of the ongoing campaigns currently is the Harvest Llantwit scheme: 

Every year our streets & gardens are full of unharvested fruit. Perhaps the trees are too big, the people too busy, the supermarket too easy...

Why not harvest and share this unwanted fruit ?

Harvest Llantwit is a Transition Llantwit project that plans to collect and share the unharvested fruit all over our town.

We are looking for tree owners with too much fruit or too little time who want help with their harvest, and volunteers to help with mapping and harvesting the trees.

Fruit will be shared amongst tree owners, harvest volunteers and the local community. Damaged fruits will be turned into juice, preserves, jams and chutneys.

We hope to bring together people with an abundance of fruit with willing harvesters and community groups that could make real use of this surplus.

In addition to being a provider of free food we hope that the scheme will help raise awareness of issues such as food miles and the food industry’s impact on the environment.
