Happy birthday to us! 🎉

Thank you so much to all the people who came to our fifth anniversary party today. It was amazing to see you all and feel so supported. And to everyone who wanted to be here but couldn’t make it - thank you also for being such an important part of the adventure that is Found Outdoors.

The last five years has had amazing high points, plenty of lows and is a ton of hard work, but it’s such privilege to get to do this.

We could never have imagined our tiny project would get so much love. We can’t wait to see you all again really soon!

PS Yes, that’s a cake we were cutting. It was amazing with an adorable woodland scene made by our fab friend Anna.

🥳 This November is our 5th birthday! 🎉

And we’re having a party (see below)!

It’s hard to believe, but we bought the land in 2020 - or maybe it’s harder to believe that 2020 was five years ago!

Since then it’s been the most amazing adventure, a never ending learning curve, long hours, hard work, fantastic people and so many new experiences not to mention events.

But most of all, an incredible privilege to call this our ‘job’ and to be custodians of this little piece of Wiltshire, my home county.

Thank you to all the truly wonderful people who have supported our project - friends, neighbours, our customers and all the people we have collaborated with.

As well of 5 years of conservation work on the land, with help from our wonderful partners we’ve run events, hosted forest schools, done animal surveys, welcomed universities, held artists residencies, dug ponds, built a barn and car park, co-created the Wiltshire Small Rewilders and Wiltshire Spoon Club, hosted work experience students, help bat box workshops, felled trees, constructed a sawmill, hosted a theatre production, run music events and so much more!

🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲

We’d love you join us for our birthday celebration on Saturday 29 November.

🎟️ Birthday party tickets are FREE 🎟️
(If you can afford a donation that will help us provide for others)

It’s really important to book so we make enough cake (and sort out enough parking!). TICKETS ARE LIMITED!

Some build and setup photos from recycled pallet to mini woodland stage for Acoustic In The Woods.

We’re lucky to be able to produce our own tree stumps and planks which saves a lot of time and money.

Events like this are so fun to work on - especially on ridiculously tight budgets - because you have to get creative. And we’ve always got our eye on a plan b in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.

One of the privileges of running a project like this is the range of different directions we end up going in. It’s hard work, but really rewarding.

We really appreciate everyone who supports our work and believes in what we are doing 🙏🌳
