A Joyful Weekend of Nature and Community with St Mary’s Church, Longstock
This past weekend, we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming visitors from one of our generous supporters, St Mary’s Church, Longstock, to the wood. Their visit was part of the Nature in Harmony Project, and it turned into a truly heartwarming and productive morning.

Joined by Hebe, our ecological intern for 2025, and Natalia the group lent their hands and enthusiasm to help survey the woodland’s biodiversity. It was a lovely way to connect over a shared love of nature, and we’re so grateful for their time, energy, and continued support.
