Website of the Week (WC 15th March 2010) - Leeds Urban Harvest

Date	Monday, March 15, 2010
Topic	Sustainable Development Environment Quality of Life

This week's Website of the Web is Leeds Urban Harvest (www.leedsurbanharvest.org.uk) - a voluntary run project that collects and distributes soft fruits that grow unharvested around our city on trees and bushes in both public and private spaces.

If you would like to nominate a regional or local site with an environmental flavour please contact info@yhref.org.uk.

About Leeds Urban Harvest

Fruit is distributed to groups, volunteers and the local community. Damaged fruits are turned into juice, preserves, jams and chutneys. Any money raised is put back into the project to help with running costs. We are also creating a detailed reference map of Leeds with location and tree information for future harvests, accessible to anyone.

As part of the project we aim to raise awareness of the great abundance of local tasty and healthy food that is available for everyone and for free!
