Happy #worldrewildingday everyone! We’re excited by the start of Spring and the signs of recovery on the land including occupation of the newly formed ponds.

Hummingbird hawk moth on sage flowers, spotted here yesterday. To explore the magic of moths like these book on to our morning of moths with @MarkCocker2 next Thursday 30th June 10-12. We’ll run a benign trap and get to know why these creatures are so important to our planet.

Join us for a Magical Morning of Moths here at Sunart Fields with Mark Cocker, Thurs 30 June 10-12. We will run a benign trap during the night and you can observe the living moths in intimate detail as they sleep the following morning. Tickets £20 pp via [email protected]

Amazing to the part of the @RewildingB garden at #chelseaflowershow2022 - awarded Gold Medal and Best in Show! Monty shown in the background and look out for coverage on the @bbc later.

Walk on the Wild Side here with celebrated author @MarkCocker2 has a spring theme, and takes place here on Thursday 21st April at 10am. £20 pp, booking via email to [email protected]. A few places left! We’ll walk off the beaten track and discover spring secrets #rewilding

We’re supporting this once in a lifetime opportunity to demand national parks become areas where nature thrives. 83% of British people support national parks being made wilder. 75% want Govt to do more. We’re not alone! Sign too before 9 April. act.rewildingbritain.org.uk/… @RewildingB

One of two wildlife ponds that are being dug here this week, with several more to follow. Given the rainfall we’ve had of late they are almost full already! Might look like a muddy mess just now, but give it a couple of months and they will begin teeming with life.

Announcing our first herbal workshop! Intro to herbalism, guided walk to forage for herbs, followed by prepping your own herbal remedies to take home. Led by experienced herbalist Andy Comley. Sat 9 April, 10-3, £55 pp. Only 10 places! booking via email to [email protected]

Huge thanks to our friends and #volunteers we have now planted over 17,500 saplings since we first started about 14 months ago. This is an important intervention in a #rewilding plan to kick start the diversity in the fields. We can’t wait to see how this landscape evolves.

You’d think there wouldn’t be much to see out and about at this time of year, but look again, as we did with @MarkCocker2 on his fascinating guided walk here yesterday. The next Spring version is 10am Thurs 21st April - bookings via [email protected]
