Farming
Spend time growing food with us. You will find out where your food comes from, learn about organic growing and help grow food for the local community. As the season progresses, so do the tasks, but expect to be involved with seed sowing, preparing beds, planting out, weeding or harvesting.
Wildlife Conservation
Help us to create a biodiverse and nature-rich landscape. You could be helping us maintain our nectar-rich flower borders, bramble bashing, hedgerow care, planting for pollinators, building nest boxes or insect hotels, carrying out wildlife surveys or planting native trees. You’ll learn how to identify native plants, insects and birds, why wildlife is important for farming and how to support biodiversity in a farmed landscape.
Nature Connection & Natural Crafts
We will provide your group with the opportunity to connect with the land and each other, learn new skills, and improve personal and group resilience. Your day could include a guided walk, mindfulness activities, learning natural crafts such as willow weaving or making natural prints.
