A Walk through Fairfield Several members took some time out to walk the circular route through the Fairfield area. Starting in the Millennium Green and Community Orchard which was created and in 2012/13. The walk continued through established nature reserves on farmland nearby as well as a brief walk along the towpath of the Lancaster Canal. It was inspiring to see what can be achieved when communities come together.  If you would like to know more about the work of the Fairfield Association visit: http://www.fairfieldassociation.org/  If you would like to know more about the Lancaster Soroptimists visit:https://sigbi.org/lancaster/
