Mission

“Reviving the old varieties of apples and pears in the Welsh Marches.”

Our Mission Statement is:

• To provide expertise for the identification of apples.
• To plant and maintain orchards stocked with traditional and rare apple and pear varieties (including cider apple) from the Welsh Marches which will provide a valuable gene bank, enabling identification and further propagation.

Our Memorandum of Association states:

“The Objects for which the Association is established are to further the education of the public by the promotion of research, identification and conserve by any recognised means, old variety of Apples, Pears and other fruits found growing in the Marches Area of England and Wales, and elsewhere, and to make collected information available to individuals or organisations by displays demonstrations, talks or any other communication system.”
