Our Adventures:
Recently, attendees have been building their stamina and working their muscles by hammering in tree stakes, chopping firewood and doing squats while tidying the mud kitchen. We have ventured onto the common for a 2.18km walk (3,000 steps) to harvest some non-native saplings. Attendees said they felt they’d worked out their back, legs, arms and elbows, and had sweated through exertion! They’d enjoyed learning about the types of trees too. We are excited to be rejuvenate the pond soon!

You Will Need:
