With a greater need than ever before to learn to grow and live off the land, this year's event will be focusing on educating attendees in the practicalities of sustainable living. There will be plentiful opportunity to ask for tips from experts in woodland, fruit trees and horticulture.
This year, Saturday will feature our Keynote speaker Geoff Monck from Treecosystems, specialising in Regenerative aboriculture (care of trees) - what is it and why is it needed? He will also lead us on a deep dive on tree and plant learning, cognition, memory and consciousness.
Sunday will be more children and family orientated, with an array of activities to stimulate young minds in open spaces and the natural environment. There will be a mix of fun and games, arts and crafts and an exploration of the relationship between cows, nature and the land.
