We run a residential centre on a farm in a forest by a river near the sea - how lucky can you be!

We connect people of all ages with the countryside from our beautiful sites in the New Forest: schools, groups of friends, playgroups, older members of the community, we have something for everyone! School residential groups, day visits for schools or clubs, visits to the farm or treehouses for care home residents, large public events, playgroups, rural courses and after school clubs feature! Or come and stay with friends for a countryside weekend, or even get married here!

Half a dozen volunteers around our pond today. A sterling effort in the constant rain this morning cutting back and removing so much growth.

This Sunday; the sun will be shining and we will be at the New Forest Marque Autumn market. What a lovely way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday. We are only there that day but even if you can't make it then we strongly recommend visiting sometime over the weekend.

All about the birds today as Little Owls joined us for "bye bye birds" finding out about the birds that are leaving for the winter and looking out for and looking after the ones left behind.

Meet our new Autumn Explorers! Today our pigs trotted out into the Forest for their first pannage, testing out their new GPS trackers! Whilst the pigs forage for acorns and nuts, we will be tracking their movements to build a better picture of how far they roam and how they behave in the forest. Watch this space for regular updates.
