Did you know that has been a huge rewilding project over the past two years?
A lot of what goes on behind the scenes goes unnoticed, but a few things to mention areโฆ
๐ณ Allowing wildflowers to grow as nature intended and never ever using pesticides or chemicals (hello bees and other amazing insects ๐)
๐ณ Clearing out the river to make way for the otters and wild fish (spotted several times by my mum who gets in there with her waders and keeps it all nice)
๐ณ Planting of over 1000 trees (in the shape of a giant tree! - single handedly planted and maintained by my dad)
๐ณ Completely decontaminating the grounds so it is free from plastics and other inorganic materials
๐ณ Creating a new lawn over what was very hard, stoney ground (and being very patient while it took a while to grow ๐)
๐ณ Feeding the birds when itโs the right time - we have an abundance of bird species here ๐ฆ
๐ณ Allowing swallows to nest in the old Smithy building (second year and wonderful to see)
๐ณ Youโll also see mole hills and other signs of wildlife on the land, because we share the space ๐พ
Between all of this, we also want the areas to be nice and presentable for our guests, so they can enjoy the wildlife and some eco-therapy. After all, we are part of nature too! So when you arrive here, you will always feel that connection to our beautiful Mother Earth. We respect her, nourish her and enjoy her, always giving back more than we take ๐๐ผ๐
