The CDT secured funding from Awards for All, LEADER, Perth & Kinross Council and a very generous donation from a couple with connections to the village to fund the creation of the Community Orchard, plant an edible hedge, purchase picnic tables, tools, install a deer grid at the entrance of Cultybraggan Camp, a hen enclosure and for a Shepherd’s Hut with a wood burning stove to be situated in the Orchard itself.
One of the main tasks for the Group is to manage the Orchard for the benefit of the community of Comrie and the Committee meets regularly to discuss how best to do this. The Group hosts community harvesting or the many fruits and berries, and Apple Days for juice / cider production to generate an income.
