What do you think is the strangest thing we've found in the local brooks? From bicycles, shopping trollies, rubber ducks... none of which are naturally found in the local ecosystem (Shocker!!!). Join the Nature Conservation Team to clean up the brook, removing harmful pollutants from the waterways, preserving natural habitats for wildlife, and making the community a nicer place to live. We look forward to seeing you there.

Balsam Bashing – pulling up the shallow-rooted balsam plants. Himalayan Balsam is an invasive plant that grows rapidly in tall, dense colonies along the brooks and rivers. Balsam has large leaves that block sunlight, causing native plants to die. With reduced biodiversity, the brook supports less wildlife, endangering creatures like the water vole. Its also also really satisfying to pull, so why not come along, relax... and destroy a population of invasive plants.

Free To Be supports particularly vulnerable children to begin to change their stories about who they are, and who they can be. We help children who have often grown up with significant adversity or hardship to more often feel proud of themselves and to experience feeling brave, adventurous, included and successful - often for the first time in a long time. We do this via overnight adventures and nature based residentials; weekend groups; and mentoring support. We work using the inherent power of the outdoors, animals, nature and self-expression - all of which are integral to the programmes we run. Children experience meeting animals at the farm, building dens in the forest, building rafts in teams to paddle across a lake, standing on the beach for the first time, cooking together in groups, camping out under the stars and a wide range of other activities all carefully designed to both broaden horizons, but also to scaffold the building of self-confidence, resilience, and trust in others.
