From little acorns..... We thought you might like to see a baby Ilona. From an acorn harvested from Ilona the Lone Oak we now have this wonderful little sapling planted in woodland. We hope she grows to be as majestic as her mum!

Wondering what we have been up to? Leather Lane might now be closed to traffic but we are still working hard to conserve the rich ecology of the lane. We got together a group of eager citizen scientists and undertook a wildlife survey to set a baseline for our future conservation area. We found some amazing barn owl pellets and recorded many different species of plant and animals. If you want to get involved in future surveys let us know! Or support our work by donating to our crowdfunder. We are raising money for monitoring and surveying equipment.
