We are the North Lancashire Community Land Trust
                   Contributing to a better built and natural environment

In 2018 we took a lease on a 2-acre piece of derelict land owned by the NHS, and have transformed it into a well-managed community orchard. De Vitre Community Garden has now been open for a couple of years and is well used by local residents.

Wherever you live, it will be a special place to someone. Some places have national recognition; others are just known to a few local residents. Many are home to wildlife and important to them.
