Making environmental change happen
Fruit and Nut Tree Map for South London
The idea for a fruit and nut map of the area was suggested at the Transition Town Brixton Great Unleashing on 2nd October 2008. We all know this is a great idea - so lets do something about it straight away. Pass this link on to everyone you know and spread the word so that this map reaches the people who want it.
You can view and edit the South London Fruit &Nut Map map here
Every body should be able to collaborate on and add to this map using the Edit button, which opens a tool bar that allows you to add pins. You can invite more people to collaborate too.
If everybody adds the burgeoning trees they have spotted on their regular routes this autumn then soon we will have a wonderful map of existing produce ready for us to use next year.
All those fruit pickers out there - let us know where the hot spots are and make sure you make a note if permission needs to be asked to pick fruit.
Share your knowledge. Be responsible in your foraging. And be generous with the jams and preserves you make with produce from public land!
This map was originally intended to just cover Brixton, but nature has no use for such boundaries, and nor doe Transition Town... so you are quite welcome to consider it Tooting's map too :)

I was going to put the almond tree on Bedford Hill but someone had already done it!
