Another great weekend at Spitewinter 🌲⛺

It’s been fantastic seeing the site busy with groups camping, activities taking place across camp and volunteers helping keep the site looking its best.

A huge thank you to the groups who have stayed on through the week and over recent weekends helping with small jobs around site - from litter picking and clearing camp areas, to returning logs back to the wood store ready for grass cutting and helping us keep on top of maintenance. It genuinely makes a massive difference to our small volunteer team 👏

This weekend we’ve also been testing this beauty of a mower on trial 🌱🚜
Safe to say it’s impressed us already and has massively reduced the time and manpower needed to cut camp areas… now if anyone fancies donating one to the site we certainly wouldn’t say no 😉😂

Other recent jobs around site have included:
🪵 Moving wood into usable piles near fire bases
🪓 Creating a new wood chop zone near the bottom wood store
🌿 Weeding and clearing camp areas
🐝 Continuing improvements to the Reflection Garden and wildlife areas

Wonderful to see Network members travelling from all over the UK to take part in Scouts of the World sessions in the John Perry Hut, alongside Calow Scouts running a fantastic programme including orienteering and outdoor challenges around site 👏

Thank you to everyone supporting Spitewinter through bookings, volunteering and events. Seeing the site full of tents, campfires and young people enjoying the outdoors is exactly what it’s all about 💚🧡

🌿🐝 Reflection Garden Update 🐝🌿

We’ve added beautifully decorated Bee Poles to our Reflection Garden, created by the amazing Quantum Network 💚

These bee habitats provide safe nesting spaces for solitary bees, helping boost pollination, support biodiversity, and create a healthier environment across the site 🌸

A perfect mix of nature, learning, and creativity 🙌
