Flourish in Nature

Don’t let a dull looking day stop you getting outside- it’s usually not as dull once you get out there. Look at the wintery shape of trees, and what other surprises can you find?

Rainy day activities in the poly tunnel. Working on bug houses, bird boxes and a beautifully illustrated map of the farm. A busy day despite the weather.

A heartwarming day- we were one of 50+ stalls at the fabulous New Forest National Park Authority Volunteer Fair. Over 700 people came by looking for opportunities to give back and help out in their community. Also a great place to network with likeminded organisations, hatching plans for collaborative projects… watch this space…

Our latest supported volunteer day was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with others to benefit nature. We spent a rainy but satisfying day planting an extensive hedgerow at Tilefield Nature, together with New Forest National Park Authority and CPRE Hampshire.

This is part of the Hampshire Hedge Project- connecting the New Forest and South Downs National Parks through native hedgerows.

We’ll be there with a stall- do come by and see us! And there will be another 53 stalls, from a whole range of organisations-so if you’re looking for an opportunity to volunteer in the New Forest area this is the place to go!!
