About our cause
West Yelland has no community facilities. In 2011, we identified a site on Lagoon View that was just an overgrown bramble patch, with 12 Plane trees (shedding their branches). It had originally been designated as a Children's Play Area, and shows as such on a map included in our house deeds. It was to be levelled and then passed to the local authority as part of the creation of Lagoon View in 1988. The estate developer, Pearce (Barnstaple) Construction, stated that they had never receiv ed any plans for the development of the site, and so it was left untouched, resulting in the briar patch that we found.
It was agreed that we could cut down the brambles. We contacted the Local Authority Tree Preservation officer and gained permission to remove the Plane trees, and replace them with fruit trees, to create an Orchard.
Since then, the Lagoon View Community Orchard Association (LVCOA) was set up, and the site gradually developed to provide many fruit trees, soft fruits, a herb bed, and a wild flower patch, all connected by a circular tarmac'd path. An adjacent "Woodland Walk" adds to the variety of experiences that can be enjoyed here.
Today, Lagoon View Community Orchard provides a much loved and valued service for the community, with regular events such as BBQs and a Wassail!
We need your help so we can continue to maintain this essential local facility, much enjoyed by kids on bicycles, family walkers, volunteer gardeners, and those who simply seek a quiet sit down on one of the benches.
Thank you for your support and good luck!
