Thank you to those who joined us to record what species call the Farm their home over the last few weeks.
This is a list that will be added to in the future, but so far over 325 species have been recorded! The true number will be much higher, but an encouraging start.
I am am working on creating an easy way to share this information and will share that here when I can.
In 30 years this oasis was created from scratch and is still evolving.

Tomorrow! Forecast is looking dry, but best to wear waterproof boots or wellies as the ground may still be wet underfoot. The count so far stands at 165 - how much higher can we get it?

The aim is to gather information to help shape the future of the farm. For those of you who were unable to attend in person, or who have thought of something else they wish to add, please either comment below, or if you prefer you can message the page.

What groups do you feel would benefit from access to a place like the farm.
