Welcome to Under The Leaves. We are a community project hoping to make our woodland space available to more people. Based on the beautiful Isle of Wight, we are preparing land ready to allow bird watching, camping, mental health retreats for men and women and more...

We are in the process of making the land safe. We need boundaries and fencing, tree clearing (storms have left many fallen), in just five days we have built a base camp to allow us to access the land more easily.

We currently have bees on site and are hoping to offer bee keeping courses in the future. 🐝

The wildlife is rife and we want to help conserve the space for them, while making areas for us all to enjoy.

We are still at the very start.
