A group of farm staff and volunteers spent a weekend in March with Steve England in the farm’s Water Vole Woodland. We learnt how to tap a birch tree for sap to drink, forage for edible plants to make a spring salad and make a fire using fungus! We also explored the Rhine to see if there are any Cray fish loving in their by making ivy baskets and submerging them in the water for 24 hrs.
