Children's Forest
Imagining a future for the good of all life, we started a 'Children's Forest', planting trees in 2020 with native trees from The Woodland Trust and our own farm grown saplings from seed.  As we nurture and tend these young trees, we hold a vision of creating a sanctuary for the children of all species, for generations to come. 

​

Forest School

Our local primary school run Forest School sessions here too. Forest School is an inspirational process that offers everyone; young and old, regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.
