๐ŸŒฟ Look After The Nook May Update โ˜€๏ธ

What a wonderful session we had in the sunshine! We got busy using the hazel we coppiced to build a fence along the path at the back of Holy Brook Nook, with expert direction and guidance from Adrian.
The fence is looking fantastic among the foliage ๐ŸŒฑ It even reminded us of the natural artistry of Andy Goldsworthy, blending beautifully into the nook while still being fully functional.
A huge thank you to all our volunteers ๐Ÿ’š Our regular community of conservationists, as well as the amazing team from .
These projects would not be possible without the incredible support from and ๐Ÿ™

๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ April Pop Up & Play at Holy Brook Nook โ€“ what a day! ๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŒฟ

We had even more family fun as we headed out on an outdoor learning journey all about birds and nests with crew.

Our wonderful Nature Doctor from led an exciting adventure from observing birds in the wild in a real bird hide, to hiding eggs around Holy Brook Nook for both adults and children to discover ๐Ÿฅšโœจ

We also got hands-on with Food4Families Reading , sewing and planting lettuce seeds to take home and grow in gardens or on windowsills ๐ŸŒฑ

In the Wild Art Gazebo, creativity took flight as we crafted, drew, and stitched our very own feathery friends ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿชถ

It was a joyful celebration of spring, nature, and community, full of fresh air, learning, and lots of birdy fun ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ’›
