We had a great week here at Candlefield Community Forest. We visited one local school to make plans for next year and another school visited us. I also made contact with The Woodland League and heard all about their brilliant Forest in a Box initiative. More to follow on that soon.
On Wednesday last, 40 children and their teachers joined me in a walk around the Land, we started at the Round House where after an introduction each child took a quartz pebble to bring on their walk. When we got to the edge of the young forest I asked them to hold the pebble tight and breath a wish of health into the rock then encouraged them to find a tree to leave the pebble and wish with. We had great fun. My favourite quote from the school's visit in response to me saying I've offered to host a beehive.. “well, if you do get bees send them down to us as we've just planted a pollinators garden” .... the school is just under a mile away so it might just happen :)
