🌳 Earlier this spring we gathered to celebrate the completion of Ambios and the Sharpham Trust 's Wild About Trees project. What began as an ambitious vision to reconnect people, nature, and landscape has, over the past few years, grown into a living reality.
Funded by Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest through DEFRA'S Trees for Climate programme, the project set out to create a diverse wood-pasture landscape across the estate - blending open grassland, scattered trees, shrubs, and hedgerows to support wildlife, strengthen habitat connectivity, honour Sharpham's historic landscape, and create lasting opportunities for learning and community engagement. We are delighted to have seen this vision take root and flourish. 🌱
To mark the close of this chapter, Ambios alumni Hatty and Ellie led a moving ceremony in Badger Field, joined by many of the people who had helped shape the project along the way. To listen to the full recording of Ellie’s The Wandering Shruti beautiful Jay Song, and find out more about the project, see the link in the comments. 🎶
Deep gratitutude to all who have contributed their time, energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm over the past several years; this project would not have been possible without you. 🙏🏽 💚
