Free pollinator workshops for primary schools!
April 2024
Thanks to a grant from Harmony Energy's Farnham Battery Community Fund, we are able to offer free pollinator workshops to a limited number of local primary schools. These fun workshops have proved very popular, and we will be contacting local schools soon.
MINIBEASTS!
March 2024
We are looking forward to starting up MINIBEASTS soon! Thanks to some funding from Farnham Town Council, Farnham Round Table and Binsted Fete, we will be able to offer monthly outdoor activities for children aged 6-10 and their families. Starting in April on the second Sunday of each month, we will be beekeeping, foraging and river dipping, amongst other things! Click HERE for further info
The not so grim reaper...
January 2024
We are celebrating our first grant of the year from the Farnham Institute Charity, which will enable us to buy some scythes, instead of borrowing them! Erica did a training course last year (pictured above) and will be passing on her knowledge to our volunteers, so we can scythe the set-aside areas at the farm, which is better for biodiversity than mowing or strimming.
