02 Activities
What the charity does
The Charity's current activities include carrying out research surveys of sites with self-reliance aims, particularly those using vegan-organic methods and/or permaculture design; and a comprehensive overhaul and re-development of our website and plants database. We provide small grants as seed-funding for suitable food forest projects.
